Charismatic teacher, trainer, staff developer, and school principal Anita Moultrie Turner offers us her "recipe" for how great teachers lead great classrooms. This humorous and accurate little guide to effective classrooms where all learners succeed will be a tasty treat for new teachers, experienced teachers, and staff developers alike. The author's 11 essential "ingredients" for success include: motivating students "with a spoonful of honey"; managing student behaviour and discipline ("making sure the cake rises"); and, creating a positive classroom environment ("an equitable dining room"). Each chapter features "extra seasonings" and "savory morsels," including classroom stories, quotations, and small servings of educational wit and wisdom. A "reflection menu" and cross references to other topics provide "dessert" for each chapter, making this a delicious way to learn and share best teaching practices with colleagues.
