Change your perspective on lesson planning. Being a teacher is so much more than a job. It's a role only other teachers can truly understand and appreciate. It means a sleepless night before the first day of school (in year one and year twenty) and a keen sense of the approaching full moon. It means you deliver a lesson that flops in the same week you teach the best lesson of your life. It means forgetting to take attendance and rushing to the copier to pick up your worksheet right before class. It means embracing a role. A role that is equally challenging and rewarding. This book asks you to discover your true teaching role, so you can lead students down a meaningful path of learning. The author has studied perspective work at length in her own classroom and in her research working with pre-service teachers, cooperating teachers, and practicing educators. An in-depth exploration of perspective in teaching and learning, this book will inspire your authentic personal reflection and move you through a clear and thoughtful synthesis of relevant educational research. You'll tap into your creative teaching capabilities through perspective-getting and use that inspiration to create high-engagement lessons for your students.
