Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confessions of a Public School Teacher: A 35-Year Veteran's Assessment on How Public Education Can Make the Grade By: Michael Marra A veteran teacher of 35 years, Michael Marra believes deeply in education’s power to change lives. His enthusiasm for helping children realize their full potential lies at the core of his lessons. His efforts to make history and economics classes relevant to students’ lives, both inside and outside the classroom, permeate his lively teaching style. Marra’s philosophy on how best to improve our public schools does not sit well with teacher unions. He believes strongly that tenure, seniority and near-endless due process protect poor performing teachers and need swift, meaningful revision. On this, Marra is unwavering, and he presents refreshing suggestions for unlocking what he believes have become the greatest shackles on American schools. Readers will be well informed to make their own assessment on these critical issues. Part memoir, part argument and part how-to guide for aspiring educators, Confessions of a Public School Teacher is a must-read for anyone who believes true learning and development to be worthwhile pursuits. Marra’s quest to leave the classroom a bit better than he found it is both his greatest support of those we cherish dearly—our children—and an invitation for the reader to join the conversation.

Book Synopsis Confessions of a Bad Teacher by : John Owens
Download or read book Confessions of a Bad Teacher written by John Owens and published by Sourcebooks, Inc.. This book was released on 2013-08-06 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An explosive new look at the pressures on today's teachers and the pitfalls of school reform, Confessions of a Bad Teacher presents a passionate appeal to save public schools, before it's too late. When John Owens left a lucrative job to teach English at a public school in New York City's South Bronx, he thought he could do some good. Faced with a flood of struggling students, Owens devised ingenious ways to engage every last one. But as his students began to thrive under his tutelage, Owens found himself increasingly mired in a broken educational system, driven by broken statistics, finances, and administrations undermining their own support system—the teachers. The situation has gotten to the point where the phrase "Bad Teacher" is almost interchangeable with "Teacher." And Owens found himself labeled just that when the methods he saw inspiring his students didn't meet the reform mandates. With firsthand accounts from teachers across the country and tips for improving public schools, Confessions of a Bad Teacher is an eye-opening call-to-action to embrace our best educators and create real reform for our children's futures.
Book Synopsis Confessions of an English Teacher: A Memoir of My Teaching Years by : Richard P. Sinay
Download or read book Confessions of an English Teacher: A Memoir of My Teaching Years written by Richard P. Sinay and published by richardpsinay.com. This book was released on 2024-07-24 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confessions of an English Teacher: A Memoir of My Teaching Years was written to share some of my extraordinary experiences teaching English at six high schools and seven community colleges in Orange County, California, from 1973 to 2018. I share these memories because they were so disappointing in their discovery. I imagined that as an English teacher, I was prepared to teach the subject I was trained for, but I learned that was far from the truth. My training as an English teacher should have prepared me to teach essential skills. It did not. As I reflect on my teaching at these schools, I discovered that my English degree needed to produce a prepared English teacher for teaching the skills of reading, grammar, and writing. Looking back at what I was mandated to teach revealed a sad truth: teaching English to high school and college students was filled with traditions that needed to change. With what I discovered to be traditional problems in teaching English, I offer recommendations for change for high schools and community colleges.
Book Synopsis Confessions of a Rogue Teacher by : George L. Colon
Download or read book Confessions of a Rogue Teacher written by George L. Colon and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-11-19 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a physical altercation with a troubled student, school officials remove jaded veteran English teacher Manny Quesada from his high school classroom. They assign him administrative duties in the “Rubber Room” of lore and legend in the superintendent’s office where lost souls known as ‘rogue teachers’ await judgment. Rather than wait passively to be exonerated for what he considers justifiable defense, Manny undertakes a quest to clear himself. He uncovers startling evidence that educational officials are falsifying statistics - and that the scandal reaches the highest levels of city politics. As the new realities of urban education erode his ideals, Manny wallow in self-pity. He spirals downward on alcohol, drugs, and his favorite student, Maggie, a bright, green-eyed beauty interested—unlike the others—in learning, whose infatuation temps him in his weakened state. But then blackmail and a murder investigation cast serious doubt on his return to the classroom, and Manny must decide if his ministry to problem students can survive his personal turmoil. Reminiscent of such notable works as Blackboard Jungle, Up the Down Stair Case, and To Sir with Love, Confessions of a Rogue Teacher paints a sobering portrait of the American classroom and artfully captures the realities of public education today.

Book Synopsis Scratch Where It Itches by : Tony Rotondo
Download or read book Scratch Where It Itches written by Tony Rotondo and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-11-28 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthony Augustus Angelo's earliest childhood memories revolve around his Italian American family who did everything the Catholic Church and his grandfather dictated, and continues through his unlikely metamorphosis into a public school English teacher. He speaks frankly about his own pitiful education, and the education of his students in the forty years he wielded the chalk. For Triple A, Ant'ny, or, as the kids called him, Tony, the broken English that filled his adolescent years came as an inspiration from his mother and condemnation from his totalitarian and often drunk grandfather. Loosely based on the life of author Tony Rotondo, Scratch Where It Itches: Confessions of a Public School Teacher, shares his memories of life in the 1940s and 1950s in a small industrial town in southeastern Pennsylvania. Mr. Angelo reminisces about his education in Catholic and public schools where his cheeks?facial and gluteal?bear the brunt of mean?spirited nuns during the good ol'days filled with poverty, pasta, and penance. Today, Mr. Angelo, a husband and father of three, is as hapless in the home as he is outstanding in the classroom. But his real itch is the state of education, both public and parochial. He thinks it stinks, and he wants you to know why.
