Description:

eTeach is designed to provide both novice and veteran teachers with actual teaching strategies that can be immediately applied to any classroom. This is not the same old teaching book on "how to post your classroom rules" or "how to deal with parents". In fact, this e-book was written partially in response to other teaching guides out on the market. The teaching profession is flooded with "how to" literature, but many of these books are either based entirely on theory, where teachers teach in what I like to call the "perfect world", also known as "la-la land", or they spend countless pages dealing with topics like how to deal with administrators and parents, or how to write lesson plans. What separates eTeach, from the other books out there is that eTeach deals specifically with how to teach. These are proven teaching strategies that the author is currently using everyday and they are strategies that you can use in your very next class.
