Descript: When reading professor Judy Richardson left theory behind to teach flesh-and-blood high school students, her new colleagues took bets on how long she'd last. The story of her return to the hurly-burly of a real high school is honestly and artfully portrayed in this book that combines entries from Judy's personal journal with essential survival tips and practical descriptions of those teaching strategies that worked - and of those that didn't! The story of her joys and frustrations is designed to appeal to experienced teachers seeking fresh, workable ideas, as well as to those who are new to the field. Special Features Anecdotal autobiography that is full of practical advice for teachers working with adolescents, and that demonstrates how often teacher college theory is divorced from classroom reality. Audience: English teachers, school administrators and teacher trainers. Paperback 6" x 9" |
