An ideal journal for personal growth, group study, or as a gift for colleagues!
The art of skillful reflection can enhance teaching practice by providing opportunities to examine your own perspective, attitude, strengths, and abilities as well as personal challenges or limitations.
This reflective journal for new and veteran teachers can be used as a standalone professional development resource or in workshops and book study groups as a companion to Anita Moultrie Turner's book Recipe for Great Teaching. Each chapter includes quotations, writing prompts, and "savory morsels" of educational wisdom. Written in a light-hearted style, this journal's menu covers topics such as:
- Communication
- Classroom environment, management, and discipline
- Self-esteem and self-respect
- Organizational skills
- Real-life skills
Spice up your classroom and rejuvenate your teaching through reflection and professional growth!
"The author really takes the reader-writer-reflector on a journey of self-discovery. The teacher must think to complete each area and make self-discoveries in doing so."
"After my years of experience, I know that successful teaching depends on reflection, reflection, reflection. This text is a wonderful contribution to help teachers through the reflective process."
"Outstanding for any educator, new or experienced. I wish such a book had been available when I was a new teacher, but I am motivated in knowing that new teachers across the country are encouraged to reflect upon their practices to best serve the needs of not only their own students, but also of the educational environments in which they are involved."
