CSI Chic Chronicles{Education and a giveaway}

There is truly nothing more important than education in this country. The more any of us are educated, the more chances we have to keep this country thriving and to make a difference. There are areas of this country where children have little chance to get a good quality education. Maybe it is because they need to work to help support their family, maybe it is because their family does not regard education as important or maybe the only school option they have doesn’t care enough to reach out to them.

No matter what the reason, those schools are everywhere and we can’t ignore that fact.

I recently had the pleasure of reading this book that addresses these issues and issues directed towards teachers.

I felt this book helped me to ponder this question,

Stagnation, being unable to accomplish one’s job at a high level, is one of the greatest sources of low teacher morale.  

Why do you think this country treats teaching so differently than it does other professions? 

I think the shift of responsibility for a child’s welfare/performance/behavior from parents to teachers. Teachers are expected to be everything to the child, not just his/her educator, but his/her babysitter, caregiver, nurse, psychiatrist, model, etc. So since the teacher is now expected to give ALL of that, the teacher now is also blamed when ANY of that fails.

This is an issue we should all consider and this book brings it to light.

The authors of this book bring a practical outlook on learning and teaching. They share how they created a charter school in Harlem. They also share the amazing achievements that the students of this school obtained.

This book is written by 2 women who created this charter school:

This book also comes with a DVD version as well.

I enjoyed this book and I want you to as well.

I am going to give away

{1} book with the DVD included to {1} lucky CSI Reader.
