Secrets from the Teachers Lounge by Anne M. Anderson Pdf
Anne Anderson had what many would consider a privileged upbringing. She was raised in an upper-middle class neighborhood, attended private schools, and frequented the country club with her well-to-do parents. But as privileged as her upbringing was, it was also disadvantageous... When Anne graduated from college, she was ready to begin her career as a teacher. But she was completely unprepared for what she was about to encounter. She accepted a teaching position in a culturally diverse and overcrowded public school, where she was pitted against disobedient children, bizarre parents, inept coworkers, and a cantankerous department chair who constantly criticized her and tried to get her fired. Needless to say, Anne was frustrated by her predicament. Yet, amazingly, she overcame it and went on to teach for thirty-five years, inspiring many other teachers-including her own daughter-along the way. Secrets from the Teachers' Lounge thoughtfully recounts the challenges Anne confronted in her career, as well as the humorous, sometimes scandalous, situations she witnessed over the years. As entertaining as it is enlightening, it's sure to appeal to anyone interested in the profession, providing an in-depth behind-the-scenes look at the clandestine world of teaching.

Secrets from the Teachers' Lounge by Mona Green Pdf
It is uncommon to see the level of honest self-examination that exists in Secrets from the Teachers' Lounge, a fictional memoir that depicts a startling cross-section of the daily challenges faced by teachers and administrators in the public school system. The stories, unlike those found in many teacher biographies, are not primarily funny. Teaching is a difficult job, especially for those who take on the more "difficult" kids, and dealing with the struggles of one's students-at home and in the classroom-is what differentiates a good teacher from a great one. The short stories in Secrets from the Teachers' Lounge deal with sensitive subjects that contribute to the performance, or lack thereof, of the author's students. From the death of a family member to abuse to the inability to adapt to a strange new culture, the events that take place are treated with the seriousness they deserve. But the lives of the students aren't the only ones examined. Teachers and administrators are not perfect, and even the most veteran educator makes bad decisions on occasion. Green is able to look back on her mistakes with clarity and accept that she wasn't always the hero in her story.

The Teachers' Lounge (Uncensored) by Kelly Flynn Pdf
Teachers step to the front of the classroom every day and do their darnedest to capture their student’s attention and keep it. But so many things get in the way: unruly kids, disagreeable parents, homes so broken it is beyond imagining, bureaucracy and red tape, the influence of technology and the media, a culture that celebrates misguided values, and most intrusively, government regulations that purport to improve teaching and learning, but in fact, are destroying it. The Teachers’ Lounge (Uncensored) gives you a peek inside that classroom. Kelly Flynn takes readers by the hand and says, “Come inside my school, walk a mile in my halls, and then we’ll talk about education reform.” With breathtaking clarity and a healthy dose of humor Kelly Flynn shares with readers what all teachers know; that when you teach in a public school there are days that you laugh, days that you cry, and days that you laugh until you cry. Each student is surprisingly, delightfully, wildly different, which is precisely why one-size-fits-all education does not work.
The Teachers' Lounge: by Patrice Wynette Jones,Elizabeth Kathleen Davenport,Rose-May Frazier Pdf
Behind the doors of teachers' lounges, teachers share with each other. They share their frustrations and enjoyment. They also share stories about the students they serve. Sometimes these stories are meant to entertain, and at other times, these stories are designed to illustrate a message about the nature of students and the importance of teacher behaviors. Through the edited book volume, The Teachers' Lounge: Tales Told and Lessons Learned, the editors manage to capture the spirit of teacher communalism in print form. Fun, heart-warming, and even bewildering within-school tales are shared. Through the narratives presented, associated lessons are also shared. These lessons elevate new, as well as experienced, teacher capacity and encourage responsible teaching behaviors. Each chapter ends with questions and statements for reflection and discussion, creating a comprehensively engaging and didactic experience from which all teachers could benefit. Though it was especially developed for new and emerging teachers, this volume serves as a didactic glimpse into teaching and a powerful resource for all teachers."This volume made me reflect upon my time as a teacher. I could relate to every word within it. I also got a good laugh."-- Garrett Dennis, Councilman, City of Jacksonville, Florida"This volume is a considerate contribution to help prepare new teachers for the reality of the classroom. It is reflective, responsible, and resolute."--David H. Jackson, Jr., Professor of History, Associate Provost for Graduate Education & Dean School of Graduate Studies, Research, and Continuing Education, Florida A&M University"I really wish I had a resource like this when I began teaching. I was bombarded with theory, but there was nothing that I could really relate to. I had so many misconceptions that I was forced to reconcile with reality. This book opens the door to the world of real teaching for new teachers. It will help many."--Lasonya G. Rentz, Guidance Counselor "Books like this are essential if we are going to prepare a new generation of teachers who are ready to assist and foster growth in all students."--Diedrich Arterberry, Veteran Teacher
The Secret Solution by Todd Whitaker,Sam Miller,Ryan A. Donlan Pdf
The secret of effective leadership can elude even the best principals. In The Secret Solution, How One Principal Discovered the Path to Success, a principal travels a journey through four distinct leadership styles as he works to transform a school.
A novice fifth-grade teacher embarks on a clandestine love affair with another teacher, which sets her on the tumultuous path of self-discovery. It is 1963, one of the most turbulent years in American history. The escalating tensions and conflicts in society at large are playing out in classrooms, principals’ offices, and school boards across the country, along with the first stirrings of social transformation, though the past still holds its suffocating grip. And behind the closed door of the teachers’ room in one small Midwest town, two teachers set eyes on each other and find it hard to look away. Karen Murphy, fresh from college, has taken on her first teaching job. Despite her best efforts, she can’t seem to stick to the subjects in her fifth-grade school books, helped along by the antics of a girl who upends all her lesson plans. She has a lot to learn, and her women colleagues are there to offer their advice, especially the enigmatic fourth-grade teacher, Esther Jonas. As Karen quickly discovers, the devoted spinster teacher with no life beyond the classroom is a myth—the school is teeming with passion and secrets, her own perilous desire for Esther Jonas included. The Teachers' Room offers both a panoramic view of a changing America and an intimate portrait of the hidden lives of teachers.
Innocent Kimberly Malone, new tenth grade English teacher, is shocked to discover the drama that rules the halls at Franklin Crest High School.

When Kimberly is found by two of her students, strangled by her own scarf, it becomes apparent that she may have uncovered a little too much of the drama in the teachers' lounge. Interviewing Kimberly's coworkers, Detectives Madden and De Luca discover that someone's secret may have been worth killing for...and that Kimberly herself may not have been as innocent as everyone thought she was. Can they piece together the puzzle of Kimberly's death before the killer gets away with murder? Fans of contemporary fiction and suspense novels alike will be intrigued by this tale of the unexpected secret lives of teachers, uniquely told through interviews with the suspects and letters from the deceased.

The Secret Lives of Teachers by Anonymous,Horace Dewey (Pseudonym) Pdf
Welcome to “East Hudson,” an elite private school in New York where the students are attentive, the colleagues are supportive, and the tuition would make the average person choke on its string of zeroes. You might think a teacher here would have little in common with most other teachers in America, but as this veteran educator—writing anonymously—shows in this refreshingly honest account, all teachers are bound by a common thread. Stripped of most economic obstacles and freed up by anonymity, he is able to tell a deeper story about the universal conditions, anxieties, foibles, generosities, hopes, and complaints that comprise every teacher’s life. The results are sometimes funny, sometimes scandalous, but always recognizable to anyone who has ever walked into a classroom, closed the door, and started their day. This is not a how-to manual. Rather, the author explores the dimensions of teaching that no one else has, those private thoughts few would dare put into a book but that form an important part of the day-to-day experience of a teacher. We see him ponder the clothes that people wear, think frankly about money (and the imbalance of its distribution), get wrangled by parents, provide on-the-fly psychotherapy, drape niceties over conversations that are actually all-out warfare, drop an f-bomb or two, and deal with students who are just plain unlikeable. We also see him envy, admire, fear, and hope; we see him in adulation and uncertainty, and in energy and exhaustion. We see him as teachers really are: human beings with a complex, rewarding, and very important job. There has been no shortage of commentary on the teaching profession over the decades, but none quite like this. Unflinching, wry, and at times laugh-out-loud funny, it’s written for every teacher out there who has ever scrambled, smirked, or sighed—and toughed it out nonetheless.
