THE COMPLETE TEACHER.

Do you want to have a satisfying, working relationship with parents and supervisors? Are you at loss in dealing with students who appear lazy, bored, or are disrespectful and even dangerous? Are you intimidated or unsure how to use old and new technologies? Are you bewildered and frustrated with the demands from multicultural and bilingual students and programs? Wouldn't you like to see your students increase their reading speed and comprehension and watch their writing become clearer, more powerful? How about increasing their self-confidence, responsibility, and independence?

IMMEDIATE IMPROVEMENT

In COMPLETE TEACHER you will immediately improve your understanding of and your relationships with students, parents, and supervisors. This will be done through specific questionnaires and evaluation formats that you will practice in class. You will learn new techniques of classroom management and understand and better use the three management styles. The uses of old and new technologies from TV/VCR's to speech recognition programs will be explained. Multicultural and bilingual approaches will fit with training in individualization and differentiated instruction. By challenging what is and seeing what should and could be you will become a more complete teacher.

Neophyte or Professional

From the neophyte to consummate professional every teacher is a “work in progress.” The very complexity of the job is daunting, but the rewards equally extravagant. So, wherever you are on your journey, the COMPLETE TEACHER will help you improve. I have motivated hundreds of intern and student teachers to see learning and teaching in thoughtful and innovative ways. My theories and practical insights challenge many of the paradigms that most believe are “the way things are supposed to be.” Not an ivory-tower theorist, all that I offer I have done successfully in public school classrooms in four major Southern California school districts in my almost half century of teaching. I've only been out of the classroom for a few years to teach in two universities.

NO easy answers!

Well-known for my innovative teaching, I am keenly aware that what works for one student or teacher does not work for others. I welcome your ideas and opinions. I won't give you all the answers to teaching, but will help you find ways to solve them yourself.
