Do you feel grounded at the "big desk" or are you still searching for your comfort zone? Join best-selling author Dominic Belmonte as he explores the essentials of instruction, curriculum, and classroom management. Using his trademark humor and encouraging style, and always keeping a clear-eyed focus on the rewards of teaching, the author discusses:

  • 15 ways to master classroom pacing, tone, undertone, mood, and behavior
  • 5 sample lessons using Socratic Seminar, inquiry science, Magic Math Box, and more
  • Reflective approaches to important challenges, including high-stakes tests, bridging the achievement gap, and helping students deal with tragedy
