Kids walk into schools full of wonder and questions. How you, as an educator, respond to students' natural curiosity can help further their own exploration and shape the way they learn today and in the future. The traditional system of education requires students to hold their questions and compliantly stick to the scheduled curriculum. But our job as educators is to provide new and better opportunities for our students. It's time to recognize that compliance doesn't foster innovation, encourage critical thinking, or inspire creativity.
In productive classrooms, teachers don't just teach children skills, they build emotionally and relationally healthy learning communities. Teachers create intellectual environments that produce not only technically competent students, but also caring, secure, actively literate human beings.
School discipline is broken. Too often, the kids who need our help the most are viewed as disrespectful, out of control, and beyond help, and are often the recipients of our most ineffective, most punitive interventions.

Greene, author of the acclaimed book The Explosive Child, offers educators and parents a different framework for understanding challenging behavior.

You've probably heard the advice put on your own oxygen mask before assisting others. This is true both in airplanes and in classrooms.

Author Mike Anderson asked that question as a teacher himself, and the answers he found form the basis of The Well-Balanced Teacher.

He gives tips and strategies to help you not only maintain your sanity in the world of education, but also explains how to create a life of happiness with youself, your family, and your students.
I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook! I found it to be informative, motivating, accurate, and full of hope! Teaching isn't easy and everyday is filled with moments of surprise and adventure. Some teachers look at those moments as opportunity and growth, while others have a difficult time and ultimately feel frustrated and overwhelmed. You went into the field of education for a reason...do you remember that reason? You were meant to be a teacher; this is your life, your passion, your contribution. You make a difference in the lives of others. In this book, Michael Linsin teaches you how to keep doing all of that, but without the stress and added pressure teachers often feel. The book focuses on 11 main habits that you can start implementing right now! It is only about 4 hours long, but packed with information that will benefit you for the rest of your life. You might find that you want to give all 11 habits a try or just one of them. Either way, you will always have this book to refer back to if you need some inspiration along your journey to happiness and health! :-)
The narration by Mike Norgaard is fantastic!! I have listened to other books he has narrated, and I have been impressed with his professional, yet easy to listen to tone. He objectively presents the information to the listeners in a clear and consistent manner, while also sounding inviting and comforting. He has a way of making listeners feel like these words were meant for them, which is an area many narrators of non-fiction books are not usually successful. I was fully engaged from start to finish and felt like I was listening to a friend or mentor give me advice on how to make my life more manageable and enjoyable. I definitely feel his narration added to my overall experience and enjoyment of the book!
I've been a subscriber to Michael Linsin's popular website smartclassroommanagement.com for some time now. I do not personally know him, nor have we ever met, but I do feel he is someone who genuinely cares about the success of teachers and their students. I just want to say thank you for all your help, support, and hard work! Everyday you help teachers from all over the world live happier, healthier, more successful, and enjoyable lives. Keep up the great work...you are appreciated more than you know! I rate this audiobook 5/5 stars across the board, and I recommend it to anyone looking to live a life of both happiness and success!
Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope it was helpful. :-)

He's right; I'm working harder than my students and I'm exhausting myself. Still don't know how to motivate the unmotivated to get them to do that horrible 4letter word--work.
