Description
Teachers and administrators in many schools across the country have been buying โNow Discover Your Strengthsโ โ- which is directed mostly to business managers โ- for professional development. Now, they will be able to buy a version of this national bestseller written specifically for teachers.What do great teachers do differently? What separates the top teachers from all the rest?
As educators โ and American society in general โ continue to struggle with how to improve schools in the U.S., these questions become more pressing than ever before. At the heart of any education system โ beyond principals, administrators and school boards โ is the teacher. Their role is so essential that Gallup has, for decades, directed some of the leading thinkers in education and psychology to uncover what makes a teacher great.
Written by two educators with a combined 70 years of experience in both classroom teaching and consulting with leaders of Americaโs schools, Teach With Your Strengths reveals the essential truths Gallupโs research has uncovered. But it zeroes on these monumental While their styles and approaches may differ, all great teachers make the most of their natural talents. And, great teachers donโt strive to be well-rounded. They know that โfixing their weaknessesโ doesnโt work โ it only produces mediocrity. Worse, it diverts time and attention from what they naturally do well.
In Teach With Your Strengths , readers will hear from great teachers โ what they do differently, how they handle problem students, how they battle intractable school bureaucracies, and how they break through and inspire even the most troubled young people. The book also shows that the best teachers take unorthodox approaches to education that are sure to stir controversy and attention โ especially among other educators.
Teach With Your Strengths includes access to Gallupโs online CliftonStrengths assessment that reveals the readerโs top five strengths, and the book explains how they can put those strengths to work in the classroom.
As Americaโs educators read this groundbreaking book, theyโll discover their own innate talents as teachers. And theyโll learn how to liberate those talents to inspire the next generation of students. ISBN:9781595620064
