Not in My Classroom!

When school was out in May 2006 I really felt burned out and wondered if I was being an effective teacher. I kept asking myself if I really wanted to go back for an 18th year of teaching. However, after I read Mr. Wootan's book I felt optimistic and rejuvenated. I found ideas that had been used once upon a time, but had forgotten somewhere down the line. There are many useful ideas for new teachers as well as those of us who have been around a decade or more. I found myself anxious to get back to school. I really looked forward to meeting the new students, nearly 120 of them. I don't know if I would have had the courage to start a new year without Not in My Classroom, but it certainly gave me the jumpstart that I needed.
