Classroom Management - The Dance of The Dolphins
Mark Kennedy has been honored for
teacher of the year two times so far in his life and he also happens to be
black belt instructor, that puts him at the top of class for teachers and students. How does a teacher become teacher of the year?
For one, having the discipline of being a black belt, and the teachings that go with it as you grow up surely help. Don't ever think that it wouldn't. All forms of self defense have principles of life taught along with them, such as time management; teaching skills; logical thought process; not to mention the physical benefits.
Most of us are not black belt instructors, we are teachers. So what does this book have to do with us? Mark Kennedy has
successfully used the assets of at his disposal and been honored as teacher of the year, not once, but twice mind you. That is an accomplishment by itself and gives credit to his ability to
Teach others - successfully.
Now that we know Mister Kennedy can teach and teach well, we have to ask ourselves how does that help me? Well, Mister Kennedy realizes most of us in the field of teaching are not black belts. He also realizes that whatever University you graduate from as a teacher, they lack one giant step... How to actually teach successfully.
In his book Mark Kennedy provides us with a warehouse full of information crunched down to a legitimate easy to navigate teacher's guide to micro-managing a classroom. Not just any classroom mind you, an inner city high profile classroom. His success as an educator in his own district and room give us all hope of having something better.
No, your classroom will not change overnight, but you will be able to translate this book into a working environment helping boys and girls achieve many of the goals they desperately wish to achieve. This is a book you an educator in any field will want to use as a reference the rest of your career. What makes it different than a thousand other classroom guides? This one works.
