I know it can be frustrating when administrators give teachers books to read over the summer (based on teacher friends)- but hopefully the administrators are reading the book too and working on their skills. I know sometimes the books that are given over the summer aren't the best, so it is nice when one of them proves to be helpful. I hope things start to improve in your school district soon!<br />~JessDMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-89461896715171608172017-07-29T23:07:00.103-04:002017-07-29T23:07:00.103-04:00I think I have at least convinced Drama Guy to rea...I think I have at least convinced Drama Guy to read it.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739833215220853127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-21509746160563136972017-07-29T22:59:40.368-04:002017-07-29T22:59:40.368-04:00Maybe now that you've read it and can recommen...Maybe now that you've read it and can recommend it with a clear mind, others will follow suit and read it?

Wish someone would write a book explaining that teachers ought to be included in, at least the discussions, that end up determining all the policies that we'll be forced to implement and or enforce, but I'm getting off topic. Glad the book had some helpful information for you. Communication is a major struggle in my workplace, but I think we need a book more on "how to communicate and not judge". No pointing fingers here; we all need that.Toi Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07493934864387695248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-80969416610241870892017-07-28T07:25:33.582-04:002017-07-28T07:25:33.582-04:00Interesting!
