So our admin bought every teacher copies of these books. I guess I'll read them but the blurbs and tables of content made my skin crawl. Why do so many educational books feel like a combination evangelism, get rich quick business manuals and pop psychology?
Have any #teachersoflitsy read these?
GingerAntics The tagged book makes me roll my eyes. Sorry. That‘s probably not the intended effect, but what teacher has time to call all the parents and praise the students? And what is that going to do to the parents? They‘ll probably think you‘re nuts. 6y
Sace @GingerAntics Amen! And right now I'm teaching quite a few students that really aren't a cute as they're mamas think they are 🙄 That's mean but it's been a long week. 6y
GingerAntics Totally understand. Sadly. 6y
Cheshirecat913 I am so with you. I am not sure how to put into words what I think about these books lately and Rob Clark and all the other gimmicks. I want to learn just good instruction techniques. 6y
Sace @Cheshirecat913 exactly! My classroom is not performance art. 6y
