Excerpts from 'DIFFERENT CULTURES - COMMON GROUND'
#17 FOR MY NEXT TRICK
Be willing to explore multiple ways of presenting material throughout the year to accommodate different personalities and learning styles. Give students various opportunities and avenues to display their knowledge. They will be more engaged and will respond better to the different learning opportunities.
#34 MT ME @ 4, TXT ME BK OK?
Keep up with current pop culture, technology, music, sayings, etc. Be in touch with your students' world without hanging out in it. This will open up more opportunities for dialogue and they will see you as an adult with whom they can more quickly relate.
#41 IT'S NOT A MOUNTAIN...IT'S A MOLEHILL
Assure students that they aren't alone as they approach new academic challenges. Remind them that ‘we're in this together and TOGETHER we WILL conquer!' This is a great opportunity to teach them how to approach learning new concepts that are scary or make them feel insecure. Your encouragement and confidence will make all the difference in helping kids to conquer their fears.
What educators say about 'DIFFERENT CULTURES - COMMON GROUND'
"This book underscores what is fundamental to success in the classroom. By placing the focus upon the students, Tara diminishes the distractions of high stakes accountability and brings us home to the academic, physical, and emotional needs of students. Used daily, Tara's book will transform the classroom environment and is certain to uplift teachers and students."
Susanne Frensley, Tennessee Teacher of the Year, 2007
"The methods classes we took in college did not truly prepare us for the real world of teaching. Tara's fun, motivating, easy to read book takes us beyond the dry, unrealistic text books and college classes to practical, insightful and humorous strategies for "in the trenches" teaching, connecting and building relationships with our students."
Judy Wade, Professional Educator, 42 Years, Long Beach, CA
