Excited students happy to be in class and learning from fulfilled and rewarded teachers. Sounds like a dream you say? Not if you apply the methodology described in Extreme Teaching. More than two decades in the classroom and careful research and reflection are the impetus behind author Keen Babbage's inspiring story. It is a call to action for all teachers to employ the recommended extreme solutions to make lessons real, worthwhile, meaningful, applicable, fascinating, and enjoyable. By connecting what students already know, already are interested in, and already are good at, with what students need to learn, extreme teachers can and will cause learning.

Teachers Know What Works: Experience, Not Statistics, Confirms What Will Work

Product Description Education works better when teachers can concentrate on teaching and on students instead of concentrating on meticulous implementation of ever-changing political reforms of education or on laborious implementation of increasingly bureaucratic, mechanical procedures which are mandated by the education hierarchy. This book explains realistic, practical, genuine ways to improve schools. This book also examines ways not to improve schools including some of the common political, bureaucratic, top-down efforts. The book emphasizes that one significant factor in actions that actually improve education is that teacher input is sought and is applied. Teachers, based on their experiences, know what works in the classroom with and for students. Nothing else in education matters more. About the Author Dr. Keen Babbage has 29 years of experience in education as a teacher and as a school administrator at the middle school, high school, college and graduate school levels. He is the author of 15 other books about education.

911: The School Administrator's Guide to Crisis Management

Watch many students in schools today and you see a range from total boredom to genuine fascination. Where does the apathy come from and could teachers make it disappear from their classrooms? Apathy and/or boredom should not come as a surprise when students are only given the responsibility to follow rules and complete assignments. This can all change in the blink of an eye if teachers exercise their rights and responsibilities to make the learning process fascinating and stimulating. This volume will help do just that, with real, practical examples and helpful hints for engaging your students and leaving a lasting impact on their lives.

Extreme Students: Challenging All Students and Energizing Learning

Results-Driven Teaching: Teach So Well That Every Student Learns

Results-Driven Teaching explores the reality that individual teachers have different perspectives on teaching. Some teachers perceive teaching as distributing textbooks, handing out worksheets, and giving tests on Fridays. While others might vary the activities in classrooms, they still have a predictable pattern of what is done and accomplished—some students learn and some do not. A results-driven teacher, however, leads every student to true learning. This standard is far above the written job description and requirements for a satisfactory performance evaluation, but the results-driven teacher's standard comes from ethics, conscience, and a personal dedication to results. Results-Driven Teaching is a lively, personal, and interactive exploration of the realistic demands and unlimited possibilities of teaching. This book will challenge readers and inspire teachers. Everyone benefits when teachers teach so well that every student learns.
