Notes From a Cool Teacher: A New Perspective on Classroom Management (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780595289691)

Notes from a Cool Teacher is essentially a how-to book. It will show you how being considered cool in the classroom can make you a more effective, dynamic teacher, particularly in the area of classroom management. The word cool is ignored and grossly underrated by teachers and those in education-- but not, and it's a big not, by the students. All of us can remember a cool teacher in our past who not only instructed but also was inspirational. That teacher was rebellious, sensitive, and caring; they made us want to pay attention with their fresh approach to teaching, and in return, we respected them and took to heart what was taught. Edward Janusz provides a new perspective regarding classroom management. Notes From a Cool Teacher is not an academic and administrative-friendly-- the typical principal would hardly approve. It does not diminish or deny the distress student misconduct has on sinking, burnt-out teachers. Nor does it simply propose exclusively raising a student's self-esteem as a path to good behavior. This book is an underground text, written from one teacher to another, providing controversial, aggressive, results-orientated strategies to achieve classroom control.
