• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

I have learned a lot from the children in my classrooms over the years. It has not been an even trade. I hone my craft and find new and engaging ways to reach as many as possible, but every year I walk away with more than I gave. Children come from varied worlds, homes, and conditions that greatly affect their ability, motivation, and emotional state. Sometimes the hurdles a teacher must find a way around are immense. And every day dedicated teachers look for any and all ways to defy the odds that weigh some students down. Here are some of my moments over the years. I have been Teacher of the Year at three different schools, for my school district, and for Los Angeles County. I've been honored not because I was the smartest guy in the room. The single greatest skill I bring to any situation is empathy. I care. It's the only shot you have at some of the kids placed before you. Here's a unique view of a teacher's journey through the students that he had to reach. Happy reading

Autorenporträt

Chris Bowen has been the Teacher of the Year for his school, for his school district, and was most recently honored as Teacher of the Year for Los Angeles County. Los Angeles County currently employs over 80,000 teachers. His most important key to success with children is building that personal relationship with each child. There is a huge difference between being tough and being strong. Anybody can be tough with a nine-year-old, but it takes the strength of patience, empathy, and honesty to build a more effective, lasting relationship.
