Synopsis:

A practical guide to prepare teachers for real-life classrooms!This handy guide goes beyond theory to make "reality training" available to both novice and experienced teachers. It presents a series of scenarios that encapsulate the inevitable legal, philosophical, and common sense challenges teachers face every day. It includes four possible solutions to the problem identified, space for you to state what you would do, then sections on what actually happened, what should have happened, and why. Sample scenarios include: When a parent threatens you; you witness students hazing another student; you discover a gun in a student’s locker; the school’s best athlete is failing your class; you see inappropriate student behavior outside of the classroom.
