Essential Tips for Classroom Success

365 Ways to Become a Better Educator

Doug Campbell

This is a book by an educator for educators. After teaching in public high schools for over twenty years, I have decided to try to give back. This work is the result. It is a thorough list of 365 tips for teachers who want to become better in every way, covering everything from discipline, relationships at school (teacher/student, teacher/teacher, teacher/administrator, and teacher/parent), wellness, mental health, and general success in an education career. I draw on what I’ve learned from my experiences (both positive and negative), my successes, my failures, and just plain common sense and logic. It took me a few years to compile this list and I feel like I can offer help for teachers over a variety of aspects of the teaching professions. My goal is simply that educators are better off for having read this book. « less more »
