The purpose of this book is to help beginning teachers and to refresh veteran teachers of K-12 grades to handle many of the situations that confront all teachers and to guide teachers toward a love for their craft and their students. If you have been in teaching and are not as enthusiastic or as effective as you need to be, this small book will highlight the basics of the art of teaching. These thirty insights for new teachers will help the teacher navigate many of the issues that will arise during your years as an educator. You won't find these insights peppered with fancy educational jargon. What you will find are realistic situations that all teachers encounter, and some food for thought on how to maneuver day-to-day classroom experiences.Review Quotes
"30 Insights for the Thriving Teacher is an absolute must-have book on the desk of every new and not-so-new teacher. In fact, entire faculties should be required to study and practice every truth in this book. I have been a secondary teacher for over 40 years and have employed all the practices that Richards presents and explains, long before the writing of this book was conceived. These practices really work; I didn't understand exactly why they worked, but they did. Beautifully. Now after reading 30 Insights, I know the scientific reasons why these strategies were so successful in helping my students learn and retain information. Richards' easy-to-understand explanations and his strong voice and humor are what set this book above any other teaching strategies handbook. The teacher who employs these insights will definitely thrive--not just survive--in her classroom." --Lorraine Angel, Secondary English Teacher, Former Education Supervisor of Christian Learning Centers of Greenville County
