Produktbeschreibung

'The Principal of the Thing: Lessons Taught, Lessons Learned' is a collection of stories that encompass the career of a teacher and principal. Taken as a whole, these stories paint a picture of the life of an educator. Readers will meet memorable students and teachers who the author worked with in his 45 years in education. The book shows the rewards and sorrows of an often-undervalued profession. In sum, the good far outweighs the bad. Those considering a career in education should read this book. Gary Whitwell was a well-respected English teacher and an elementary, middle school, and high school principal in East Texas for thirty-five years. He worked at a private Episcopal school for an additional ten years as a teacher and Head of School. Throughout his career, he used stories to illustrate and underscore important points and lessons while working with students and teachers. He was often told he should write a book about his experiences, so he has done just that. Many of his stories are humorous, and some are sad. All of them show the power of treating students with dignity and respect, as well as the importance of establishing and maintaining appropriate relationships with students, parents, and staff. He hopes his stories will inspire others to pursue a career in education. In a time when many in our society hesitate to enter teaching because of the lack of material rewards, he hopes his book shows the joy and sense of fulfillment found in education.
