Download or read book Oops written by Hywel Roberts and published by Crown House Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04-30 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book also shines a spotlight on the role of the teacher and how he or she can do the right things to get the absolute best from students. Some of the best learning takes place when, rather than imposing on young people a pre-determined curriculum, you find the stimulus that is relevant and engaging for them and build from there. Then the curriculum starts to emerge in a way that simply hooks students into learning almost despite themselves. There is nothing for them to push against ('What's the point?!', 'This is boring..!') as they have helped shape the direction of the lesson in a way that makes it real and useful to them. All this without them even realising what is going on! They have been 'lured into learning' and the process is shared with teachers in this book, with examples as to how it can be done and how the author has done it. Reading this book will support teachers in developing ideas that motivate everybody in the classroom, from infants to secondary and beyond. Whether you're new to teaching or have vast experience you will find in this book inspiration to raise achievement, improve behaviour and enhance creativity in the classroom; and you will change the way you approach lesson planning forever.

Book OOPS   I m a Teacher

    Book Details:
  • Author : Bud Frampton
  • Publisher : Outskirts Press
  • Release : 2012-05
  • ISBN : 9781432783952
  • Pages : 310 pages

Download or read book OOPS I m a Teacher written by Bud Frampton and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching: A Job with No Accurate Job Description. The federal government, state education departments, university professors, and "experts" all have plenty of ideas and fix-it schemes for public education. Unfortunately, none of those people know what it's like to actually be a teacher. After 33 years in public education, Dr. Wilson (Bud) Frampton does know what it's like. He spent 15 years in the pressure-cooker environment of middle school education, and an additional 18 years in the even more crucial testing ground of high school education. When it comes to the ups and downs of daily life with hormonal adolescents, Dr. Frampton is a genuine expert. Oops, I'm a Teacher is a memoir about the antics and actions of teaching, a candid look from the trenches, illuminated by anecdotes of entertaining and challenging situations, all told with unflinching realism. It is a genuine look at the environment, obstacles, and issues that permeate the lives of teachers, which are rarely addressed. Oops, I'm a Teacher is also an object lesson in how a non-traditional pathway into secondary education, with military and business experience as a foundation, created a methodology allowing Dr. Frampton to transform ordinary classroom experience into something extraordinary. Dr. Frampton challenges the praise and criticism modern education receives, suggesting that the real issues are seldom seen or discussed beyond school walls. Anyone who has spent time in the school system will recognize the memories unfolding within these pages - and for those who want to learn what education is really about, this eye-opening memoir will provide food for thought. Oops, I'm a Teacher educates, entertains, and gives priceless insight into an important job that most people don't know enough about.

Book excerpt: With my stars to guide me, with the fear of God inside me, I took off for the uncharted wilds of the wild country called the Bronx, inhabited by the underprivileged, unwelcomed, and uncivilized (at least that is what I thought) with fine knowledge that I, as a new teacher, would triumph. Many in the past had failed. But I would not fail. No. Larry Rothstein didn't want to be a teacher, but when it became a valid way to escape the draft, he made it his mission to be enrolled. Unwilling to join the army because of the Vietnam War, he learned that teachers were able to get a deferment, and he was excited to start on his new quest. Once Larry was hired, he realized that becoming a teacher was what he was meant to be. Larry dedicated his life to making a difference in the life of his students. Field trips, drama groups, and making learning fun were the focus of his life for over thirty years. But despite his dedication, the school administration tried to bring him down one notch at a time. Student deaths, students skipping classes, and the callous attitudes of some of the administrators who could not see his vision became everyday battles, but Larry was determined to conquer his windmills. Finally, an illness brought on by the school's new construction threatened to knock Larry off his Dulcinea for good. Following the life of one man through the '70s, '80s, and '90s,The Quixotic Teacheris a quest for an exemplary teacher in the public school system.

Book excerpt: Oops! One morning, while a pig family was sitting down to breakfast, a little milk spills to the floor. That shouldn’t be any problem at all! And it wouldn’t, except that the milk seeps through a crack in the floor and drips down to the workshop below onto a tray that tips and flips the switch on the grinder whose spinning wheel catches the loose end of a clothesline which gets wound around the leg of a table saw . . . and that is just the beginning of a series of chain reactions that lead from a little spill on the table to a giant boulder in the breakfast room! With each disastrous step depicted as only Arthur Geisert could, a seemingly ordinary incident spills out of control. They say you shouldn't cry over spilled milk, but what if it destroys your whole house?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contents of this book are dear to me. They represent a part of my life that I have had to live and deal with. We are a broken object.

As the author of this book, I was looking for those pieces I had lost, trying to puzzle over where they belonged and where they should be. It felt like I was picking up pieces of broken glass: it cut me every time I picked up one of the pieces. In the end, though, I found a way to merge them with a little bit of gold.
