I'm skeptical that what works in a few specific charter schools in the urban Northeast will apply to all or even most classrooms. And of course, I'm skeptical that good teaching can be reduced to "49 techniques." However, I'm always up for adding to my toolbox, so I'm replacing my yearly reread of Harry Wong's The First Days of School
From my reading/blogging, I hope to reflect on what I do and what I can improve as I enter my 10th year of teaching. I won't cover all 49 techniques-- even at one a day, that would take me into next school year, when I will have Other Things To Do. I won't be quoting extensively from the book either. My intent isn't to duplicate the content of the book (hello copyright issues), but to review and reflect on it.
Next post, I'll be jumping right in with Technique 1, "No Opt Out."
