Summary:
Two veteran educators with more than 50 years of combined teaching experience update their teacher's handbook with additional content on personal and school safety, discipline, mainstreaming, increased emphasis on standardized testing, new learning technologies, and a host of other topics. This book offers teachers advice on matters like discipline, parental relations, stress, time management, violence prevention, fitting in with the institution and the community, establishing a rapport with the students, extracurricular activities, handling several roles at once, and preparing the classroom. Specific do's and don'ts, and amusing anecdotes are included. The three authors are former teacher and administrators. Teachers are frequent library patrons and will appreciate this helpful book. Handle problem students and parents. Relax and manage the stress of teaching. Be a good teacher and still have time for a personal life. Jack Warner, who has a master's degree in educational media, and Clyde Bryan, a former teacher, principal, and school superintendent collaborate with Diane Warner on the best ways for teachers to work their way into students' hearts and minds.
