Why Read this Book?

Teaching Smarter-An UNCONVENTIOAL Guide to Boosting Student Success!


Because the work load & demand on both teacher and student is sucking the life out of you.

 This book shows it doesn't have to be that way. These are just some of the things I have found that work for me


.  Don't Quit, Don't give up! 


At the very least some of the personal experiences related will give you a laugh.  That in of itself I am told is healing.

What's Your Move?

 Unbeknownst to me a student of mine took this video. She says that when feeling down all she has to do is look at it and she starts to laugh.  I was horrified when a  visiting speaker asked the faculty to each do their best move. I do NOT dance.  I prefer to throw down a good PUN rather than a dance move but whatever works.    Teachers all have their own way of connecting with their students.    I call this "THE LIKABILITY factor".    Whats your move? Check out this great video
