Cocked Eyes: Learning The Abcs Of Classroom Teaching

An eager young teacher is often champing at the bit to start teaching students, but sometimes students have their own lessons to teach. A lot can be learned from a class of kids. This was certainly something teacher Doris Hilliard Howze kept in mind when she began her teaching career. After thirty years in front of classrooms in Washington, DC, and Orlando, Florida, she's eager to share her hard-won wisdom with any new teacher who might be nervous about the first day of school. Howze structures her teaching advice into the "ABCs" of teaching. A is for Attitude (how to identify classroom disrupters), B is for Belonging (how to understand class social dynamics), C is Conversations (how to strengthen conversation skills), and so on. Howze uses moments from her own teaching experiences to serve as examples for each letter. From kindergarten to middle school, each classroom she instructed taught her something new about her vocation. A teacher's job is to identify and nurture the potential in each young person who walks into the classroom. Howze deeply understands the important responsibilities teachers have, and through Cocked Eyes, she wants to help them reach out to their students and mold young minds.
