Inspirational, invigorating advice from a veteran teacher!

Vickie Gill′s time-tested wisdom and practical advice provides the insight teachers need to develop a dynamic, successful classroom. This third edition of her bestseller contains new material that helps teachers work with new technologies, evolving social climates, limited budgets, and standardized testing. Drawing on lessons learned from 21 joyous years of teaching, Gill illustrates each commandment with authentic classroom stories and concrete guidance for staying enthusiastic and committed to excellence. The suggestions show how to:

  • Ask for support from your principal or staff
  • Reach difficult-to-teach students
  • Choose your battles carefully
  • Maintain an open mind and a flexible attitude
  • Focus on why you became a teacher in the first place
  • Rediscover your profound joy for teaching, students, and what Gill calls "the greatest of all professions."
