Your First 30 Minutes
Your First 30 Minutes - The ABC's of Successful Classroom Management / Updated Edition To Order
Life began to look like an episode of "Get Smart", when the doors of activities in every aspect of human life began to slam shut as the Great Pandemic of 2020 steamrolled the world. Like a nuclear bomb, the realities and inequalities of American education exploded in the laps of families. Teachers became political footballs, caught in the whirlwind of confusing, conflicting mandates.
Your First 30 Minutes – The ABC’s of Successful Classroom Management has been updated to address age-old challenges and navigate through new ones that seem to reformat themselves in nano seconds. New chapters such as: Teaching Creatively (and Courageously!) in the Midst of Strait Jacketed Initiatives; The Cake & The Salad; Creating “Life-Link” Lessons; Teach the Test? Teach the Curriculum?; When World Events Hijack Your Lesson Plans; and Flowers From Your Garden partner with earlier chapters to present practical strategies that will empower teachers to create a safe, orderly and excellent classroom environment, despite the tornadic winds that buffet them, their students and their profession.
