I Am a Teacher

by Deana Swanson

As a teacher, you have a big job. You teach, you grade, you correct, you explain, and you hand out report cards. You counsel and encourage and rebuke and, at times, throw up your hands in despair or slump your shoulders in defeat. Is it asking too much to expect that you both enjoy your job and help your students enjoy theirs? Deana Swanson doesn’t think so. As a longtime teacher along with her husband Jeff, Deana would like to share inspiration and tools—and her love of teaching—with you. I Am a Teacher, and I Love It! contains touching stories (and some funny ones too), seasoned advice, and ideas for specific classes and hands-on projects to make learning enjoyable. Whether you read it from cover to cover or turn to it as an occasional resource, I Am a Teacher, and I Love It! is a breath of fresh air for teachers. Best suited to middle- and upper-grade teachers with some experience.

Ummm...yes... I did stay up till midnight reading all the fascinating history parties you could have🤭. It was an awesome book though and it made me realize more how much my teachers had actually put into my schooling.

Knowing the author definitely helped me to appreciate these thoughts and teaching tips. (Geared mostly towards elementary teaching.)

Deana Swanson is a fabulous teacher and there are a lot of good tips in this book. However, our personalities are quite different and much of it just doesn't work for me.
