SO WHAT EXACTLY IS THE TOTAL TEACHER®? All teachers are different, with different teaching styles, and that's a good thing. That is exactly right. They are in their "own" classrooms rarely seeing what or how anyone else does things. No way to improve or change because never is there a peek at what a successful system is really like. What do those teachers that get great grades year after year do differently? What do they say? How do their students internalize education? Finally some insight, some desperately needed insight. (Teachers fresh out of college, or perhaps ones that have been in a rut for far too long can benefit from a peek at a new perspective.)

First part of "the tool" is a book written in two sections. Since the creator is a parent, a teacher, a counselor and a businesswoman it is sensible and interesting to read, a real page-turner that will make you laugh, cry, and think!

  • Section One: A true story. It is incredibly interesting and shares how this really was this authors lot in life, a very, very interesting read.

  • Section Two: The teacher's tool. August through June, each chapter is a peek at a specific month. It does not dictate but demonstrates how to make the same successful system work in your classroom, any classroom. WRITTEN CLEARLY and ENJOYABLY! Easy to comprehend and implement because YOU WILL WANT TO! The "Ah ha light" will go on, and you will say, "Good golly this makes so much sense!"
In addition to the total teacher® Comprehensive Resource, which you won't ever want to part with, is a one of a kind, pacing guide. A three-year layout and projection that will make you ask yourself, "WHY HAVEN'T I EVER TAUGHT this way before"?

"It is so hard when you have to, but so easy when you want to!"

This pacing guide is available nowhere else because it is the total teacher®'s unique companion. It makes everyone, student to superintendent and everyone in between -WANT TO!

Education has been in a mess for a long time, and our customers, the students, have been screaming the answers out at us, telling how to fix the problem for a very long time. We just were not listening, not until a very receptive teacher was at a point in her life when...

SHE LISTENED WITH THE INTENT TO UNDERSTAND AND NOT WITH THE INTENT TO REPLY. The students spoke and this teacher really heard what they were saying, what they were asking for, our students had the answers to our educational problems all along. Is it not said that when the student is ready the teacher shall appear? Well in this case the teacher was ready and the students did in fact appear, with the answers- the right answers!

WE HAVE TO GIVE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT IN ORDER FOR THEM TO ACCEPT WHAT THEY NEED.

We in education know children need a good solid education, and that is what we must give them because that is what they need. They are currently not accepting their lessons, it is not working in so many settings because the answer key, the reason why, is not being identified. We cannot rectify a problem if we do not identify it. the total teacher® unlocks the mystery. NOW IT ALL HAPPENS the way it ought to. This is a WIN/WIN situation, an answer to our nations educational problems. the total teacher® graduates total productive and competent students! Finally everyone is on the same team, wanting the same winning results. The byproduct is a commendable work ethic using the right tool, the one that was designed to get the job done, on time, on target, therefore on TOP! Doing our jobs to the best of our ability with enviable results is what America is all about!
