n Everyday Wisdom for Inspired TeachingTim
Lautzenheiser. What are the secret ingredients of
master teachers? If you were a student in your
class, what would you be learning? Would it be
both exciting and valuable? How do you create
a disciplined classroom environment without
becoming a dictator? How can failure become
a pathway to success? What are the qualities
of true leaders? Tim Lautzenheiser explores
the real-world questions, fears, and doubts all
outstanding educators have. In the process, he
discovers a gold mine of opportunities for teachers
to assess their own effectiveness and reach the
highest levels possible. In four parts (The Art of
Teaching; Developing an Attitude for Success;
Teacher Leadership Skills; and Selection and
Encouragement of Student Leaders), Tim calls
teachers and administrators to action. He writes,
"It is easy to 'dream the dream' and even exciting
to sit down and 'draw up the plan,' but doing it,
actually taking action, seems to be where many
halt... Don't react: act."
