Letter From a First Year Teacher
"My first year of teaching was filled with trials and tribulations, many I caused. Students thought of me as cold and uncaring. They liked the progress our bands were making, but didn't like my class. After a month, I lost several good students. More were on the way out. The week before Thanksgiving, 10 students tried to quit. I met with both the principal and superintendent. The kids liked what they were learning, I was told, but they didn't feel I cared about them. The principal said I was negative. I couldn't believe it. I almost quit. I knew I was rarely positive but...The superintendent told me to turn things around or I wouldn't have a job next year. Over Thanksgiving I went home to El Paso to visit my parents. My mother showed me, Winning Year One. Your book sounded exactly like me. I read it from cover to cover, twice. I'm changing. I'm more involved with students.The last two weeks are better. I feel confident. I may even keep some kids who wanted to quit. I can't thank you enough for your advice.

Discipline Strategies
|
A quote from
Carol Fuery:
"Every
time a teacher sends a student to the office he or she loses. It's
a "wait until your father gets home and he'll give you
a whipping" mentality. Unresolved discipline problems aren't
self- healing wounds. Left unattended, they only get worse.
Teachers feel defeated, dejected, and discouraged. But, we can teach
kids about responsibility. We can create safe havens in our classrooms.
In Discipline Strategies, I show
you how."

Why
Not Substitite Teach?
By the time a student graduates from high school,
nearly one academic year will have been taught by substitute teachers.
We need expert subs who can effectively teach. Carol Fuery shows
you how.

is to:
- Set up your Substitute's Backpack of teaching
essentials
- Motivate learning with 10 classroom management
tips
- Stay organized with the Morning and Afternoon
Checklists
For substitute teachers, discipline is the number
one problem. This powerfully encouraging book is easy-to-read and
quick-to-apply in any classroom. You will discover how to:
- Avoid power struggles, reduce resistance and start
teaching immediately
- Anticipate, use appropriate humor and handle the
games kids play
- Use positive teacher strategies and send no students
to the office
- Dress well -- project power, authority and unlimited
respect
"As an administrator, I lost a number of good
potential teachers on their first day of substituting because Ididn't
have the time to properly prepare them for the experience. Successful
Subbing with its methods, strategies and activities for effective
classroom management would have done the job for me."
Bruce Balas
Former Dean of Students
American School - London, England
"Successful Subbing gets under
the skin of great teaching with what works, what doesn't work and
why in ways few books do."
Dr. Constance Clancy
Edwards, Colorado
"This quick-read gives good, solid advice as
well as helpful hints and effective classroom management strategies.
Everything is packaged in an easily understood format.

2001/160 pp./ISBN 0-944295-3 / $15.95
In an age of non-stop testing, keep your personal

making a difference.” Through a rich assortment of teacher
anecdotes and personal reflections, Carol Fuery shows you the way.
You will become an inspired, motivated and recharged educator and
discover how to:
- Recognize imbalance and reclaim your personal
life
- Meet the mutual needs of your students and yourself
- Reduce toxic stress, build resiliency, and end
each day feeling personally rewarded
- Improve test scores, redefine creativity and come
home to your true self
"Still Teaching After All These Years"
is my favorite book! We teachers play down our position in society
and rarely appreciate our own expertise. I'm recommending this book
to all 3,000 teachers in my district."
Dr. Larry Bell, Supervisor, Prince William County,
Virginia
An excerpt from Still Teaching After All These Years:
"We spend our lives alternating
between sulking and searching. Yet the choice is simple: learn to
enjoy teaching, or get out and do something else! I'm not advocating
that you quit. I'm advocating that you stop playing the victim...
stop suffering. We can't change superintendents, school boards,
parents or principals. But we can change the one arena that we do
control -- our classrooms. Gaining power, achieving status, and
renewing ourselves is what this book is all about!"
