In this deeply personal book, respected author and educator Susan Mandel Glazer brings us into her career in education and her work with teachers and students around the world. She asks teachers to consider the effect-negative as well as positive-their words and actions have on the attitudes and learning of the students they teach. Her goal in sharing this reflection is to persuade teachers to work at becoming more aware of what they do and how they speak in the classroom. Through a series of vignettes Glazer presents and analyzes a wide range of situations, then offers possible outcomes for the various scenarios. Checklists and self-assessments, presented in a workshop format, help teachers understand their actions and work to modify their behaviors appropriately.
