Just Published by Christopher-Gordon Publishers! 

A provocative and deeply personal new book by Dr Susan Mandel Glazer, Beyond the Looking Glass: Self-Reflection and Evaluation = More Effective Teaching

Dear Educator,

"Beyond the Looking Glass: Self-Reflection and Evaluation = More Effective Teaching"
(www.christopher-gordon.com/Authors/glazer.shtml), Susan Mandel Glazer's new book for teachers, has been called

• Shocking and startling
• An indictment of teachers
• Outrageous and negative

But, it isn't. The author has taken risks writing this book. She shares, in poignant and deeply personal stories, the pains and struggles teachers experience as they discover how their language and actions affect the children they teach and how they learn. Or not.

Dr. Glazer, after years of observations in classrooms throughout the United States and around the world, has defined adults', specifically teachers', behaviors and disciplinary practices into categories.  Teachers can use these models to reflect, to see themselves in the looking glass, and project beyond the image to what's behind it.  In this way, by better understanding themselves, teachers and others who care for children can help their students become better learners.

The six concise chapters are filled with classroom examples, student samples, and checklists, for evaluation as well as reflection. Plus, two useful appendixes give teachers the tools they need to reflect on their teaching styles and think about how their actions may be perceived by their students.  And finally, throughout the book, successful professionals from many walks of life share often breath-taking classroom moments, and illuminate lessons not found in any textbook.
