Teach. Learn. Change.

Produktbeschreibung

Trying to teach then hopefully learn to change are the stages that are developmentally essential if one is to grow and become effective in any situation where actual learning can take place. Knowing when and how to change approaches, methods, and expectations is essential. Would you strap a boy of fifteen years who is bigger than you? Would you teach in a locked jail unit alongside a convicted murderer? I did both. Recorded here are the big changes I went through during my career. I went from having an atmosphere of fear in the classroom to having a loving atmosphere. Yet I still had control! Read about the sad, the funny, and the unusual experiences I had. Read about some of the suggestions I now have for the improvement of the present sorry state of the public educational system in North American schools. What are we to do for our many unemployed graduates?

Autorenporträt

I spent most of my working life teaching in various locations in Canada and with various types of students. My career began when I left university, and I retired after having completed the thirty years required to enable me to have a good pension. In the 1950s, a girl might aspire to have one of three jobs: a secretary (not with my dyslexia), a nurse (not with my fear of blood), or a teacher. That would not be my fate, as almost all the women in my family had been teachers. I would get married; I would have many children! Surprise! I even grew from a terrified beginning teacher to an experienced educator with a genuine love of many students, even the murderers.
