Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many reasons to become a substitute teacher. They include flexible regular work hours, no teaching experience necessary, relatively few non-work responsibilities, being influential to students, being able to do and have great practice for future teachers, and the ability to choose the age group of students to teach. Experiences may vary but what makes substitute teacher-author John Barr Jr. say "don't work for PESG or teach in Ypsilanti, Michigan"? Discover his untold stories of being a sub in his upcoming book, Confessions of a Substitute Teacher. Written with such fervor and vividness, this eye-opener chronicles Barr's unforgettable experiences from the good times to the bad: from receiving letters and cupcakes from several students to being assaulted by a fifth-grader. Having "subbed" for twelve years, Barr provides insightful ideas and suggestions that may prove relevant to teaching today's classrooms especially in schools where students are known to disrespect teachers. He also shares a little bit of history and how each school district compare and contrast."I know I am taking a big risk by writing this book but it is a story that needs to be told, not just for me but for a lot of subs as well who are underpaid and under respected," Barr states.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you do when you don't know what to do? While Teaching School is a Scream! is a helping guidebook designed to fill a desperate need for substitute teachers in school districts all over America, the sound advice inside this work should also help new school teachers, parents, grandparents, homeschoolers, Scout Leaders, Sunday School teachers, and anyone wishing to deal intelligently with school-age children. A second purpose of this book is to alert and educate anyone who wants to earn good/great money without giving up their life. In memoir form, Scream follows the career path of a person unprepared for teaching above the kindergarten level. You will experience the stress, incompetence, joys, successes, and despairs of someone who had to teach since she spent their two sons' college fund on a house with a swimming pool. The Appendix provide concrete ideas for art, music, games, seatwork, rewards, and corrections. An emphasis is devoted to a level-by-level exploration of "What to do when you don't know what to do. In spite of the title, the author finds better ways to deal with her students in lieu of screaming. She discovers diffusion and develops many techniques which she shares in detail. Every school district should have copies of Teaching School is a Scream! readily available for teachers and subs. This gave me a "shot in the arm" of enthusiasm and empowerment. It also brought back a lot of wonderful memories. Full of ideas, I can hardly wait to implement them. Estela Ohashi, Substitute Teacher since 1996 This engaging book is filled with Judy Woods-Knight's wisdom born of experience and practical ideas coupled with emphases on the importance of humor and above all, a genuine desire to serve young minds in need of the best any teacher can deliver.

Teacher, Susan Cramer tells of her feelings and experiences in her journey to teach these special children.

Chapters in the book take the reader through the educational process of identifying children with emotional disabilities, creating an IEP, capturing and holding the attention of special needs children, making modifications and adaptations, and implementing behavioral strategies used in her classroom to attain academic and emotional success in the lives of her students. She sprinkles throughout the book controversial issues all too common in her profession: teacher burnout, overcrowded classrooms, budget shortfalls, ineffective administrators, pushy politicians, and absentee parents. She allows the reader to glimpse into her inner sanctum of the teacher's lounge and the antics that keep her of sane mind and body before and after school hours. Then she presents the reader with heart-wrenching stories about those special students who have touched her very soul. Through a combination of tough love, old-school tactics, compassion and humor the author is able to get the students to trust and open up to her in their quest to be successful for school. A "must read" for parents, educators, administrators and prospective collegiate education majors.

Download or read book Confessions written by Zhengguo Kang and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2007 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With clear vision this intimate memoir draws us into the intersections of everyday life and Communist power from the first days of "Liberation" in 1949 through the Tiananmen Square protests and after. The son of a professional family, Kang Zhengguo is a free spirit, drawn to literature. In Mao's China, these innocuous circumstances expose him at the age of twenty to a fierce struggle session, expulsion from university, and a four-year term of hard labor in Xian's Number Two Brickyard. So begins his long stay in the prison-camp system, a story of hardship and poignance, of warmth and humor in the face of cruelty. He finally escapes the Chinese gulag by forfeiting his identity: at age twenty-eight he is adopted by an aging bachelor in a peasant village, which enables him to start a new life. Rehabilitated after Mao's death, Kang finds himself still subject to the recurring nightmare of party authority.
Book Synopsis Confessions of a 21st Century Math Teacher by : Barry Garelick
Download or read book Confessions of a 21st Century Math Teacher written by Barry Garelick and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-08 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An honest and critical look at math education from the inside, from the author of "Letters from John Dewey/Letters from Huck Finn" For anyone concerned with what Common Core is bringing about in the name of 21st century math education, STEM education, and "21st century skills, this book is a must-read. "I am not an outright proponent of the philosophy that 'If you want something done right, you have to live in the past', but when it comes to how to teach math there are worse philosophies to embrace," Barry Garelick explains as he continues from where he left off in his last book ("Letters from John Dewey/Letters from Huck Finn"). He describes his experiences as a long-term substitute teacher at a high school and middle school. He teaches math as he best knows how while schools throughout California make the transition to the Common Core standards. It is the 50th anniversary of key historical events including the JFK assassination and the Beatles' arrival in the U.S. It is also the 50th anniversary of his first algebra course, the technical and personal memories of which he uses to guide him through the 21st century educational belief system that is infused with Common Core and which surrounds him. Adds Garelick: " 'Teaching Math in the 21st Century' will never be required reading in any school of education in the United States. While this might be a great reason to read the book, it is also a shame because there is a serious lack of an honest discussion and debate on math education issues that really needs to happen in education schools and within the education establishment in general." "The book offers a brief glimpse into the eye of the storm that matters to kids, parents and teachers: the classroom as it functions under changing curricula and mindsets and how stakeholders deal with it. The book shows how great teachers are desperate to deliver a solid education in spite of proclamations from disconnected, poorly-grounded leaders; it shows how students just want to learn math and parents want to feel confident and informed about the education their kids are receiving." Matthew Tabor, editor, Education News "If you want to know why a teacher without a political ax to grind and who is deeply committed to actual teaching would object to the Common Core--read this book!" David Olson, Asst Professor, Communications Studies, Southwestern University "I tried to get started on the book, but found typos and grammar errors in the first paragraph of the introduction. I just can't read through something as poorly edited as this." Retired employee of National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) (NOTE: The errors have been corrected!!) FROM THE INTRODUCTION: This book takes place in the 21st century and a school district in California. Like many districts in the U.S., it is married to the groupthink-inspired conception known as 21st century learning. Those who have fallen under the spell of this idea believe that today's students live in the digital world where any information can be Googled, and facts are not as important as "learning how to learn". It is a brave new world in which students must collaborate, be creative, work as a team and construct new meanings. In the world of 21st century learning, one prevailing belief is that procedures don't stick; they are forgotten. Students are to be taught "learning skills", "critical and higher order thinking" and "habits of mind" in order to prepare for jobs that have not yet been created. In short, it is an educational orientation that I and others like me 1) do not believe in and 2) find ourselves immersed in. It was the underlying belief system in which I had to work during two long-term sub assignments which are the subject of the book you are about to read.
