Fires in the Bathroom: Advice for Teachers from High School Students

by Kathleen Cushman

Fires in the Bathroom: Advice for Teachers from High School Students Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Since its initial publication in hardcover in 2003, Fires in the Bathroom has been through multiple printings and received the attention of teachers across the country. Now in paperback, Kathleen Cushman's groundbreaking book offers original insights into teaching teenagers in today's hard-pressed urban high schools from the point of view of the students themselves. It speaks to both new and established teachers, giving them firsthand information about who their students are and what they need to succeed. Students from across the country contributed perceptive and pragmatic answers to questions of how teachers can transcend the barriers of adolescent identity and culture to reach the diverse student body in today's urban schools. With the fresh and often surprising perspectives of youth, they tackle tough issues such as increasing engagement and motivation, teaching difficult academic material, reaching English-language learners, and creating a class-room culture where respect and success go hand in hand.

Synopsis:

This invaluable guide to teaching teenagers features the uncensored advice of 40 students from three cities on how teachers can transcend the barriers of adolescent identity and culture to reach the diverse pupils in today's urban schools. Illustrations.

Synopsis:

Concrete, specific, engaging...useful for busy classroom teachers.
