Download or read book Being a Teacher written by Lucy Cooker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sharing the stories of educators working in a diverse range of international contexts, Being a Teacher uses personal narratives to explore effective teaching and learning in global settings. Demonstrating how personal values influence pedagogical practice, and asking how practice can be improved, authors reflect on their experiences not just as teachers, but also as learners, to offer essential guidance for all prospective educational professionals. The book focuses on teacher narratives as a vehicle for consideration of teacher professionalism, and as a way of understanding issues which are important to teachers in different contexts. By sharing and analysing these narratives, the book discusses the increasing complexity of teaching as a profession, and considers the commonality within the narratives. Each chapter includes graphic representations of analysis and encourages its reader to reflect critically on central questions, thereby constructing their own narrative. Being a Teacher provides an in-depth and engaging insight into the education system at a global level, making it an essential read for anyone embarking on a teaching career within the international education market.
Book Synopsis The Child Is the Teacher by : Cristina De Stefano
Download or read book The Child Is the Teacher written by Cristina De Stefano and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh, comprehensive biography of the pioneering educator and activist who changed the way we look at children’s minds, from the author of Oriana Fallaci. Born in 1870 in Chiaravalle, Italy, Maria Montessori would grow up to embody almost every trait men of her era detested in the fairer sex. She was self-confident, strong-willed, and had a fiery temper at a time when women were supposed to be soft and pliable. She studied until she became a doctor at a time when female graduates in Italy provoked outright scandal. She never wanted to marry or have children—the accepted destiny for all women of her milieu in late nineteenth-century bourgeois Rome—and when she became pregnant by a colleague of hers, she gave up her son to continue pursuing her career. At around age thirty, Montessori was struck by the condition of children in the slums of Rome’s San Lorenzo neighborhood, and realized what she wanted to do with her life: change the school, and therefore the world, through a new approach to the child’s mind. In spite of the resistance she faced from all sides—scientists accused her of being too mystical, and the clergy of being too scientific, traditionalists of giving children too much freedom, and anarchists of giving them too much structure—she would garner acclaim and establish the influential Montessori method, which is now practiced throughout the world. A thorough, nuanced portrait of this often controversial woman, The Child Is the Teacher is the first biographical work on Maria Montessori written by an author who is not a member of the Montessori movement, but who has been granted access to original letters, diaries, notes, and texts written by Montessori herself, including an array of previously unpublished material.

Book excerpt: There's no reason to leave education, because teacher burnout just got hacked! Teachers often face challenges that throw off their entire plans and leave them feeling isolated and powerless. These challenges can range from new technologies, classroom discipline, sudden change to hybrid or distance learning, and unforeseen personal crises-issues that smolder until a teacher is fully burned out with no spark in sight. Could this describe you now or in the future? In Hacking Teacher Burnout, veteran classroom teacher, podcaster, and Google trainer Amber Harper shares an eight-step process that guides teachers out of burnout and into a lasting, empowered feeling of being a burned-in teacher-fulfilled, happy, efficient, and effective in the classroom and in life. Harper helps teachers and leaders overcome incredible challenges and frustrations, and shows you how to: ✓ Discover your burnout type (everyone has a type?) ✓ Take actions that are best for you, depending on your burnout type ✓ Move through burnout rather than fight against it ✓ Make time for things that bring you growth and joy ✓ Thrive-not just survive-personally and professionally ✓ Prepare for hardship before it hits and conquer it when it does Teachers are leaving the profession at shockingly high rates, because they are angry, sad, and just burned-out. You don't have to join this burnout club. Instead, read Hacking Teacher Burnout today, and get Burned-in.

Book Synopsis The Class by : Heather Won Tesoriero
Download or read book The Class written by Heather Won Tesoriero and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unforgettable year in the life of a visionary high school science teacher and his award-winning students, as they try to get into college, land a date for the prom . . . and possibly change the world “A complex portrait of the ups and downs of teaching in a culture that undervalues what teaching delivers.”—The Wall Street Journal Andy Bramante left his successful career as a corporate scientist to teach public high school—and now helms one of the most remarkable classrooms in America. Bramante’s unconventional class at Connecticut’s prestigious yet diverse Greenwich High School has no curriculum, tests, textbooks, or lectures, and is equal parts elite research lab, student counseling office, and teenage hangout spot. United by a passion to learn, Mr. B.’s band of whiz kids set out every year to conquer the brutally competitive science fair circuit. They have won the top prize at the Google Science Fair, made discoveries that eluded scientists three times their age, and been invited to the Nobel Prize ceremony in Stockholm. A former Emmy-winning producer for CBS News, Heather Won Tesoriero embeds in this dynamic class to bring Andy and his gifted, all-too-human kids to life—including William, a prodigy so driven that he’s trying to invent diagnostics for artery blockage and Alzheimer’s (but can’t quite figure out how to order a bagel); Ethan, who essentially outgrows high school in his junior year and founds his own company to commercialize a discovery he made in the class; Sophia, a Lyme disease patient whose ambitious work is dedicated to curing her own debilitating ailment; Romano, a football player who hangs up his helmet to pursue his secret science expertise and develop a “smart” liquid bandage; and Olivia, whose invention of a fast test for Ebola brought her science fair fame and an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. We experience the thrill of discovery, the heartbreak of failed endeavors, and perhaps the ultimate high: a yes from Harvard. Moving, funny, and utterly engrossing, The Class is a superb account of hard work and high spirits, a stirring tribute to how essential science is in our schools and our lives, and a heartfelt testament to the power of a great teacher to help kids realize their unlimited potential. Praise for The Class “Captivating . . . Journalist Tesoriero left her job at CBS News to embed herself in Bramante’s classroom for the academic year, and she does this so successfully, a reader forgets she is even there. Her skill at drawing out not only Bramante but also the personal lives, hopes and concerns of these students is impressive. . . . It is a fascinating glimpse of a teaching environment that most public school teachers will never know.”—The Washington Post

This book was released on 2024-01-20 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quote sums up the role of teachers in student’s life. The influence of a teacher extends beyond the four walls of a class room and plays a significant role in molding and shaping the life of a student. Rather the teacher-student bond is the foundation stone of building the life of a student. I am lucky to be a teacher who had a great influence on the lives of many medical students. The bond, and rapport between the teacher and the student is unique and beyond explanation. I have the privilege of being a teacher for over four decades having taught couple of thousand students who now adorn the garden of Medicine. I will just narrate one incident that describes the beauty and greatness of this relationship. When I was teaching in Antigua I had developed such a relationship that cemented our souls together. At the time of my leaving the medical school, at the Airport one of my student just tried to become one with me, standing on my feet, embracing me and not allowing me to travel. It took lot of persuasion to take leave of the student leaving a deep rooted bonding that defies explanation. This short write up pictures the journey of my life traveling through many stations of learning carrying memories which words cannot capture or portray for these experiences are embedded deep into the chambers of heart, probably rightly called as the seat of love and emotions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is for teachers who have good days and bad -- and whose bad days bring the suffering that comes only from something one loves. It is for teachers who refuse to harden their hearts, because they love learners, learning, and the teaching life." - Parker J. Palmer [from the Introduction] Teachers choose their vocation for reasons of the heart, because they care deeply about their students and about their subject. But the demands of teaching cause too many educators to lose heart. Is it possible to take heart in teaching once more so that we can continue to do what good teachers always do -- give heart to our students? In The Courage to Teach, Parker Palmer takes teachers on an inner journey toward reconnecting with their vocation and their students -- and recovering their passion for one of the most difficult and important of human endeavors.

Book excerpt: He is one of the wisest men of all time. Since the time of the Bible, he is the only man to be celebrated by the three major Western religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

The Secret Life reveals his ancient teachings in modern terms. In The Secret Life, you will discover true wisdom and success in every aspect of life comes not from our public persona and life — as so many believe — but in our secret thoughts and actions. Maimonides shows how every person can find their true and best self, not only deriving happiness for themselves, but spreading that bliss to everyone they touch. The benefits of living the Secret Life are countless. Changing your approaches to giving charity, to seeking justice, to loving others, and to believing in yourself enough to find and act on your true calling will lead you to remarkable heights. You will find a new resilience against the difficulties and turmoil in life, a new inner power that will keep you focused on the things that really matter, and an inner peace few will ever have. The Secret Life is, quite literally, life changing. “Whatever you do should be done out of nothing else but pure love.” — Maimonides
