THE CLASSROOM TEACHER’S SURVIVAL GUIDE

Abstract

I guess it’s to be expected that a man as multifaceted as Dr. Ron Partin would likewise create a multifaceted book filled with strategies, techniques, and useful materials for be- ginning and veteran teachers alike. An educator, guidance counselor, scholar, and consul- tant—among other interests and avocations ranging from bluegrass music to genealogy— Ron is best known to me as providing the backbone to multiple graduate courses developed by Performance Learning Systems, Inc., for over thirty years. Ron conducts research in all facets of education, guiding the legitimacy and credibility of PLS courses internationally. He has coauthored graduate courses and penned many rich articles to benefit teachers. First and foremost, Ron’s intention is to assist the classroom teacher to impart knowledge to students. This third edition of The Classroom Teacher’s Survival Guide provides a rich recipe book or, depending on your generation, a drop-down menu of multiple options for teachers to use immediately and with tremendous success. It’s a virtual bible for K–12 educators, parents, home schools, administrators, coaches, and others. I have been known to use some of the techniques in my own instruction of teachers!
