Product description...

A RESOURCE MANUAL THAT READS LIKE A MEMOIR.


After 30 years of teaching students with special needs, Mr. Jones has concluded that the single greatest trait a successful teacher needs is CARE. Students will simply not reach their fullest potential unless they believe their teacher genuinely cares about them. “The Caring Teacher” examines 26 educational topics all teachers face every day. These include such issues as making phone calls to parents, grading, discipline, rewards, inclusion, mainstreaming, professional development, teacher evaluations and state testing. Additionally, Mr. Jones lists the Ten Qualities of a “Caring Teacher.” These include the importance of consistency throughout the year, having high expectations, being kind to everyone (not just your students) and knowing what is important when you make decisions. Want to know if your student cares? Take the test that Mr. Jones created to find out. Want to know if you are a “Caring Teacher?” Take the test. The reader will have access to over 30 handouts Mr. Jones has developed and utilized to help him succeed in the classroom for the past three decades. Whether you are a student teacher, a rookie or a seasoned veteran, this book will be a valuable resource to help you thrive, not just survive!
