Real Solutions for Real Challenges by Real Teachers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781420884708)

Real Solutions for Real challenges by Real Teachers is a book of interventions and strategies. Christine Slawson has taken the time to collect and format these ideas that educators have submitted through the university courses she instructs. They contain practical and applicable plans for students with such issues as: impulsivity, distractibility, overactivity, immaturity, lack of self-control, bullying, moodiness, stubbornness, poor organization and work habits, lack of responsibility, aggressiveness, and many others. The book can be read from cover to cover, with each story having its own unique case. Or it can be used as a manual, to look up interventions tried for specific behaviors or age groups. Many of the situations that have challenged previous teachers are the same ones faced in every school. So this book can be used when teachers are seeking to reach out from their own experiences, and enhance their knowledge towards the ultimate task of reaching all students regardless of academic or behavioral struggle. Samantha Polek, principal of Central-Denison School in Lake Geneva says this about Real Solutions for Real Challenges by Real Teachers: "This book is very impressive and will be valuable to teachers. The fact that the solutions are tried and true has much merit. The teachers' stories also convey that each child is different, hence needs different strategies. This book clearly demonstrates the lengths teachers go to help kids. You see the care, compassion, and commitment that educators have for all children."
