This ONE THING Will DESTROY Your CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT
Teachers On Fire
by Tim Cavey
2M ago
I will never forget one of my high school science teachers. He was a good man. A decent person. His instructional practices weren’t exactly progressive, but he meant well.

He would throw chalk at students. He would smash his speaking podium on the floor.

They’re bold and don’t hesitate to tell it like it is. Essential Truths for Teachers isn’t a book about instructional practice. It’s not about classroom management techniques, the best uses of technology, or assessment. This book is more of a manifesto. It’s about the fundamental beliefs and values that teachers need to own in order to be successful. It’s a quick and easy read. I have no affiliation and gain nothing from sales of this b ..read more
