Pages : 41
Book Description
This funny, touching picture book celebrates the difference a good teacher can make. Written as a thank-you note to a special teacher from the student who never forgot her, this moving story makes a great classroom read-aloud, and a perfect back-to-school gift for students and teachers! Dear Teacher, Whenever I had something to tell you, I tugged on your shirt and whispered in your ear. This time I’m writing a letter. So begins this heartfelt picture book about a girl who prefers running and jumping to listening and learning—and the teacher who gently inspires her. From stomping through creeks on a field trip to pretending to choke when called upon to read aloud, this book’s young heroine would be a challenge to any teacher. But this teacher isn’t just any teacher. By listening carefully and knowing just the right thing to say, she quickly learns that the girl’s unruly behavior is due to her struggles with reading. And at the very end, we learn what this former student is now: a teacher herself. From award winning author Deborah Hopkinson and acclaimed illustrator Nancy Carpenter, this picture book is made to be treasured by both those who teach and those who learn.

Millions have followed this path to greater sanity, balance, and well-being, often in the face of huge stress, pain, uncertainty, sorrow, and illness.

I'm Not Your Friend, I'm Your Teacher

Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
It was on my mom's deathbed that I questioned what to do with the rest of my life. Was I doing what I wanted instead of just what the pocketbook demanded? For years, I felt a quiet yearning for something more than writing newspaper stories. So I decided to teach, and yet making a mid-career change at 39 with a family to care for made no sense. What was I thinking? But I had this idea that I could make the world a better place. Yes, stories abound of kids hating school, disrespecting teachers, and acting like fools in the classroom. But I can tell just as many stories of students showing kindness, embracing learning, and writing the sweetest notes for their teachers. For 22 years, I taught elementary school, and as a male teacher, I was an unusual species. Now I can tell you what it's really like on the inside of the modern classroom, where teachers struggle to find money for supplies, learn new modes of instruction, worry about kids who suffer in abusive homes, and wonder how they'll compete in a future filled with existential quandaries ranging from climate change and racial equity to the likelihood that they'll have fewer opportunities than the generations before them. It was my job to equip them for that uncertain future, or at least send them off successfully to the next grade level. Through it all, my time in the classroom was a love/hate affair, but mostly love, and definitely fun, except when it wasn't. It was awful to retire in the middle of a pandemic, but I did it; now I'd like to share what it was really like, and based on the experiences learned from all the kids that passed through my classroom, offer up some advice as a new generation navigates the hallways of elementary education in America.

The Joyful Teacher

Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
"My wish," writes Berit Gordon, "is for there to be more joy and less struggle in a profession where people put in such tremendous effort and do such essential work." No matter what supports you might have in your school or district, you can take charge of your teacher growth and craft your own professional learning journey. The Joyful Teacherprovides a structure to help K-12 teachers across all content areas reflect on their professional development needs, set goals that work, and access practical strategies that will help them meet those goals. While anyone can pop in and pull out strategies for what's needed right now, the goals and strategies are organized in a progression to set teachers up for the most success and highest impact. Coaches and administrators will also find numerous ways to support the teachers they work with and help them feel and be effective. Each chapter begins with a self-assessment checklist to help you find which goal and strategy will be your entry point. Within each strategy you'll find step-by-step instructions, explanations for why and how the strategy works, a detailed "how to," supports and indicators to help you know if the idea is working, and references to help you continue exploring if you want to learn even more. Berit includes grade band suggestions and grade level modifications to help you make the strategy work best for you and your students. There is no "right" place to start and no goal that is more sophisticated or more important than any other. The Joyful Teacherhelps you prioritize what is most essential for what you need and choose goals and strategies that work for you and your students. Where will your journey begin?
