Although the United States trains more than enough teachers to meet its needs, the attrition rate for educators is higher than that of any other professional occupation. According to a report from the National Commission for Teaching and America’s Future, up to one-third of new U.S. teachers leave the profession within the first few years. Katy, the writer, was one of them. [+/-]
Katy has seen herself how caring for students helps a teacher meet curricular goals; tapping into the excitement of reaching a child emotionally provides energy to reach that child academically. Try out the many approaches that she illustrates throughout this book, and you will find yourself concentrating less on “dealing with” your students and more on inspiring them. It is her hope that as you put her guidelines into practice, you will begin to develop your own classroom management style—one that’s a perfect fit for both your personality and your school. This book is intended as a starting point. Your final destination is entirely up to you.
