Teaching in the Dark; How to find your way in the classroom: A teaching guide

Teaching K12 education is one of the most challenging professions there is. This book was written to help new teachers find their way and to help experienced teachers rekindle their passion.It has: -Real stories and examples from over 20 years of teaching.-Personal and practical theories of learning that work.-Teaching techniques that can be applied in class and in lesson planning to create greater student engagement.-Approaches to discipline as a way to build, not to break.-Positive advice on how to control your students and keep their attention.-Different levels of preparation and how preparation makes you a more effective teacher.-Ways to get your students to care about what they are learning.-Demonstrations showing why communication is so important.It is my fervent belief and hope that there is a little something in this book for every teacher out there in k12 education; whether in public, private, or k12 homeschooling. If nothing else, it should be different, make you think and help you to form your own theories and ideas about teaching and learning."I wish every new teacher had the benefit of reading this material before they had to face their first class. There are a few "Old" teachers that could benefit too. And, It would be great if every home schooling parent could read this. For that matter, I think parents in general could benefit from it. Thank you for writing down your hard won lessons in teaching techniques." Jerilyn T. Activity therapist and substitute teacher
