Book Synopsis Teacher Journeys by : Rita Gilbert Greer EdD
Download or read book Teacher Journeys written by Rita Gilbert Greer EdD and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2020-04-24 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where you live does not define who you are or who you can be. Those were the words of a wise woman who did not know that she was a teacher or that her words would be remembered and passed on to future generations long after she died. However, this wise woman did know that to make her belief come to fruition, education was the key. For many African Americans who travelled life’s highway during the twentieth century, caring teachers were their guiding star, their map, their GPS, and their light through the tunnel. Teachers gave students confidence, hope, determination, knowledge, and a feeling of “yes you can.” In this book, the author rejects the idea that anybody can teach and provides clear, distinct criteria for anyone thinking about teaching as a career. The stories she shares also serve as a thank you to all of America’s teachers. Discover how African-American teachers have inspired students to succeed and pay it forward with the remarkable stories in Teacher Journeys. We must have outstanding teachers in today’s schools. Expectations are key to student performance and teacher success. If teachers have realistic expectations, our kids will try to live up to them. No child wants to be a failure and no good teacher wants their students to fail. —Daisy R. Wright, Teacher Without knowledge and skills, opportunities cease. The burden of developing and imparting the knowledge and skills has been placed squarely upon teachers, regardless of how unfair and lopsided it seems. If anyone is thinking about becoming a teacher, he or she must understand that this profession makes the biggest imprint of any occupation in society. —Verna Cahoon, Principal

Book Synopsis Teaching by Heart by : Thomas J. DeLong
Download or read book Teaching by Heart written by Thomas J. DeLong and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best teachers are leaders, and the best leaders are teachers. Teaching by Heart summarizes the author's key insights gained from more than forty years of teaching and managing. It illustrates how teachers can both lift people up and let them down. It proposes that the best teachers are also leaders, and the best leaders are also teachers. In examining how to lead and teach, renowned Harvard Business School professor Thomas J. DeLong takes the reader inside his own head and heart. He notes that, as teachers, we often focus more on our inadequacies and missteps than on our strengths and unique talents. He explains why this is so by dissecting and analyzing his own experiences--using himself as a case study. The book's goal is to help readers learn about the intricacies of teaching and managing, and to impart lessons about how teachers can create a unique teaching atmosphere. To do this, the author analyzes the process of creating a curriculum, preparing for an eighty-minute class, managing the fifteen minutes before class begins, and evaluating the nature of the teaching experience after the session concludes. Along the way, he connects specific classroom behaviors with leadership issues--in organizations, in teams, and in personal relationships. He also asks--and answers--some provocative questions, such as: What happens on multiple levels when I teach or lead--with me, students, or professionals? What am I thinking and feeling as I process what students are thinking and feeling? How are my internal conversations affecting how I teach and lead? How do I manage my biases, including having "favorite" students? To what extent can I use teaching methods in the arena of management? Throughout Teaching by Heart, DeLong discusses why empathy and authenticity matter. When teachers embrace this mindset, students have the opportunity to have a unique learning experience. Teachers and managers will learn how to create moments of transformation for students. Whether you're a university professor, a student, a business leader, or just someone fascinated by teaching, this book will instruct, entertain, and--hopefully--inspire.

Book Synopsis The Journey is Everything by : Katherine Bomer
Download or read book The Journey is Everything written by Katherine Bomer and published by Heinemann Educational Books. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the electric, pulsating world around us, the essay lives a life of abandon, posing questions, speaking truths, fulfilling a need humans have to know what other humans think and wonder so we can feel less alone." -Katherine Bomer Sadly, many students only know "essay" as a 5-paragraph, tightly structured writing assignment that must check all the boxes of a standardized formula. How did essays in school get so far away from essays in the world? Katherine makes a powerful case for teaching the essay as a way to restore writing to think-that it is in fact necessary for students' success in college and career. "Essay helps students write flexibly, fluently, and with emboldened voices," she writes in The Journey Is Everything, "qualities they can translate into any assigned writing task in school or in life." She argues that the close reading of essays fulfills the recommendations of state and national standards, while practice in essay writing leads to better academic and test writing. More importantly, "Essay gives its author the space, time, and freedom to think about and make sense of things, take a journey of discovery, and speak her mind, without boundaries." Don't students deserve the chance to develop their own topics, discover their own writing voices, and learn to structure prose organically, according to the content? Katherine gives you tools, strategies, and activities to bring a unit on more authentic writing into your practice. Rediscover the power of the essay to bring out students' true thinking-their true selves. Because after all, the journey is everything.

Book excerpt: One Student at a Time is a memoir of my extraordinary teaching career including some of my incredible and memorable life experiences. My adventures in teaching and life are a roller-coaster ride of failures, successes, frustrations, and pure joy. The purpose of this book is to take the reader with me on my forty-seven-year journey in and out of the classroom, from inner-city New York to the Bay Area, California, and from junior high school all the way up to a four-year university and everything in between. Those who have experienced the wonders of teaching will be able to relate to the ups and downs inherent in being a successful teacher at an inner-city school. Those who have never had this opportunity will be amazed by these life-changing moments. There are numerous compelling and captivating stories including my first day in front of a classroom which may have you rolling on the floor with laughter and my witnessing of a classroom miracle which reshapes the life of Michael, a seventh-grade student, forever. Have a tissue ready. You will also read about Jacque Dawes, the toughest kid in the school, who undergoes a 180-degree transformation only to have a devastating ending. Then there's Dorothy whose own tragic past keeps her from becoming the student she is meant to be. There are also the heartwarming and inspiring stories about Dirk and Patricia who, against all odds, overcame their fears and setbacks and found a way to fulfill their dreams. And get ready to laugh out loud while reading about my appearance on the Wheel of Fortune, where I tell an outrageous lie in order to get on the TV show and then I go on to win three consecutive airings. As a writer and a storyteller, I want my readers to feel the raw emotions that I felt when these stories happened. Here are some of the responses that I received by those who have already read my book: "I felt as if I was not reading a book but that you were talking directly to me" and "You found a way to make me feel as if I was in the classroom with you." I hope you enjoy the ride.
