An essential guide for teachers and parents, this book is a masterful exploration of the teaching craft and offers a magical reading experience. After over thirty years in the classroom, award-winning teacher Phillip Done decided to retire but felt compelled to share his wisdom in a book for educators and parents. He covers everything from first-day jitters to end-of-year emotions, discussing the teacher's craft, classroom dynamics, and the challenges faced in education, all centered around the children. Drawing from his extensive experience, Done shares invaluable insights: real learning is messy; greeting students is crucial; and it’s important to reflect on our teaching practices. He emphasizes modeling the behavior we wish to see in our students. Tackling unique topics often overlooked in teaching literature, he addresses Back to School Night nerves, teacher pride, and the realities of recess duty and field trips. Moreover, Done confronts significant issues in education today, including bullying, excessive screen time, and the pressures of standardized testing. More than just a guide, this book is infused with inspiration, humor, and humanity, inviting readers into the vibrant world of elementary education. With wit and compassion, it serves as a vital resource for teachers, parents, and anyone invested in the success of young learners.
