I think this blog might be late. I'm not sure.
I read this book, or at least parts of it, this summer. Of course, I forgot that I had read it, though I remembered when I started rereading it. It's full of good advice. The section on the history of education in Mississippi was quite interesting. If I implemented all of the good advice I've found, I'd be set. Well, maybe not quite set, but certainly in a better position. I hate responding to books like this. (just so you know) I just don't have anything interesting or meaningful to say. I SHOULD use a good bit of the tips in this book, but I probably won't, simply because I'm completely scatterbrained. I can't remember to do everything. I can't even keep track of my clipboard and pens in the classroom. I'm a horrible teacher. I should be a librarian.
Sorry. About the book. It's great, I think. I don't know what else to say. I think I do some of the things the authors have suggested. I should probably do more student-teacher conferences. Maybe that would help some with my classroom management issues. I'm willing to bet it would only help for about twenty minutes at a time, though. Maybe I'll try it and find out.
I do tend to be the center of attention for a significant portion of class time. I'm working on it, though. Working. More activities? I don't know.
The end.
