A page for teachers. (If you’re not a teacher, there’s still something here for you).
While you're here, have a look at my books. You can request eBook samples by clicking here. They’re aimed at middle-grade readers.
Teachers are unique. Even those who are not university-trained play a role as teachers. Parent? Sports coach? Music tutor? We are artists, writers, musicians, psychologists, mathematicians, counsellors, coaches, linguists, designers, and moderators. We care. We give a damn. When we need to, we kick ass. We nurture and shape learning.
You can try this with your middle-grade (or higher) class. With some tweaks, you can adapt it for younger children. It could form the basis of a rich task to conclude a teaching unit. Kids love this type of investigation!
Note my motto occurs throughout: Gather, Organise, Communicate.
