Teacher in Control: A complete classroom organization guide Paperback – 23 October 2022

As educators, the classroom is our stage. It is a hub for collaboration and interactivity; an environment that should be both comfortable and challenging. The classroom must reflect how an educator intends to organize and teach students, while encouraging both independence and collaboration. How a classroom is organized, how it is managed, and how the students learn goes hand-in-hand. Those bulging cupboards, piles of neglected books, or disorganized art supplies can dramatically impact student learning. There is a symbiotic nature to any successful classroom, propped up by the pillar of organization.

Educators looking to change or enhance their mindset to create a product learning environment will find tools, tips, and real-world experiences in this helpful guide. With important topics such as how to purge your books and library, decluttering papers, and what to do with the sentimental stuff, this book provides everything that teachers can use to organize even the most tenured of classrooms! Helping you to save time, understand the importance of a decluttered mind, and improve your mindset towards classroom organization and management, Teacher in Control: A Complete Classroom Organization Guide by Sylvia Skinner will help you to flourish into an effective educator with simple changes to your space. Find the inspiration to take control of your classroom and begin the process of organizing today!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Sylvia Skinner

I love to teach, don't you? For 20+ years, I've taught primary, led a school as principal while teaching Foundation for 5 years. Now I'm teaching Visual Arts to primary and high school students. I earned my Education degree, with hons in ESL, back in 1998, in Perth, WA.

After teaching in Australia for several years, I went overseas to teach in the Solomon Islands as part of our Christian mission.

While there, we built a school, and I was asked to become principal. I trained teachers how to set up, decorate, work smart, plan and organize their classroom, so they could teach like a champion.  I did this while, creating curriculum, school budgeting, training an accountant, teaching my own class of kiddos full-time. That’s when I had to learn to work smart.

The school became popular because the Year 6 students graduated in the top 10% alongside students from the international school, who access the limited High School spots for the top 20% primary school graduates.

I met many teachers who worked for zero or very little. So, 50% of the profit from this book directly helps teachers in need in the Solomon Islands.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Workers in 2021 are dealing with an unprecedented volume of stressors, and managers need to respond with compassion, asserts executive advisor Pallapa. This requires acknowledging the effects of the pandemic, racial injustice, and economic upheaval, and developing empathy on both a personal and organizational level in order to support a stressed, overwhelmed workforce." - Publishers Weekly

From the Inside Flap

Leadership is about more than outlining a compelling vision for the future and commanding one’s followers to achieve it. True leadership involves a genuine understanding of what other people are feeling, seeing things from their viewpoint, and imagining yourself in their place.

In Leading with Empathy: Understanding the Needs of Today’s Workforce, an accomplished executive and business leader Dr. Gautham Pallapa delivers an inspiring call to action on becoming an empathic leader. Organized into three parts, the book begins with a candid acknowledgment of the adversity facing people worldwide as they suffer through recent events, including the Covid-19 pandemic, unemployment, Black Lives Matter protests, and the economic downturn.

Following that, the author describes the role of empathy in understanding how negative events affect us as human beings and how it can be a panacea in combating the anguish and suffering experienced by people from all walks of life. He also discusses what steps and actions empathic leaders can and should embrace to enable their workforce and others around them to achieve their full potential. Finally, the author explores his belief that one can only achieve progress through strategic disruption.

The book is full of enlightening anecdotes and stories that bring to life the ideas and concepts within the book. It also includes a variety of straightforward exercises and simple tips to reduce stress and anxiety and increase happiness and positivity.

Leading with Empathy: Understanding the Needs of Today’s Workforce is a must-read for anyone who finds themselves in a leadership position. By re-centering empathy in the framework of effective leadership, the author offers readers a powerful tool to lead others.
