Description
Book SynopsisTeachers Learn While Students Teach: Inspiring Hearts And Minds is designed to be a practical guide for student teachers, new teachers, veteran teachers, and retired teachers in order to use their exceedingly important gifts to help junior high through senior high school students feel more confident about themselves and their learning.
Trade ReviewSteve Sonntag’s love for teaching and inspiring definitely shines. What I liked most is that he not only addresses issues/ideas, but also gives practical advice on how to deal with them, such as how to deal with students’ mood swings and not taking them personally. -- Beth Mann, substitute teacher
An amazing chronicle of effective teaching practices. Clearly, Steve Sonntag with his lifetime of educational experience has so much to offer. As a teacher of fifteen years, I discovered the principles found within these pages not only help the freshly initiated teachers, but also us veteran teachers who also could use support and inspiration. -- James F. Nunes, secondary theatre teacher
This book is as thorough an explanation of the culture and the practice of a public high school that you will find. From the students to the parents to the school staff to the often overlooked little practical items, if there is something that Steve Sonntag has forgotten in all of the ins and outs of school, I don’t know what it is. Every teacher or prospective teacher will find something worthwhile within these pages. -- David O’Leary, principal
