Totally positive teaching : a five-stage approach to energizing students and teachers by Joseph Ciaccio 4 editions published in in English and held by 2, WorldCat member libraries worldwide Do you remember that one great teacher who sparked a love of learning in you? It was fun to be in that class and you could tell the teacher enjoyed being there, too. But how do these energized educators stay motivated day in and day out?
In Totally Positive Teaching, Joseph Ciaccio shares an approach that transformed him from a burned out veteran teacher struggling joylessly through each day to a professional who has fun with his students, guiding them to success while enjoying the teaching process.
The conviction that people can adopt a new attitude is at the heart of Ciaccio s Totally Positive Approach. When teachers enter the classroom with an upbeat attitude supported by constructive teaching techniques, they can build trusting partnerships with students. Ciaccio describes five techniques for creating a daily positive learning experience that nurtures student achievement, devising activities to meet the mutual needs of student and teacher, changing personal counterproductive feelings, responding to student behavior problems, helping underachievers become self motivated, developing instructional strategies to keep students engaged.
Ciaccio provides plenty of examples to illustrate how these techniques actually work in the classroom.
