“The best schools are the ones where administrators create an atmosphere where good teachers can thrive, giving teachers some autonomy and trusting them as professionals to do what’s best for students.” And that is how I am quoted in the new book TEACHER TOP 5 by Nick Ip. The book profiles teachers from across the nation and includes their Top 5 suggestions for successful teaching. Nick Ip honored me as one of the 25 teachers chosen for the book. (Imagine that!) In a nutshell, here’s my Top 5 suggestions: 1. Never Enter a Classroom Unprepared. 2. Find a Way to Motivate and Inspire Students. 3. Never Quit Learning and Growing as a Teacher. 4. Bring a Sense of Playfulness into the Classroom. 5. Have Faith in Youth. The book includes my explanation of those Top 5, as well as some information about my career, what inspired me to become a teacher, and a few more of my thoughts about the noble profession of teaching. More information about the book is available at teachertop5, and the book is available in paperback from Amazon. amazon/Teacher-Top-T-Nick-Ip/dp/1619276461/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1391655124&sr=8-6&keywords=nick+ip
