Reflections on Teaching: Essays by a California Teacher

By Kevin Bibo

For five years I "reflected" on my teaching experience on a blog. I'm not sure what motivated me to begin beyond an overwhelming feeling of fullness; I needed to get rid of some things to make room for others. Of course that snowballed into a habit of binging and purging on teacher stuff. Then came the readers who actually made comments on my ramblings and, well, the rest is recorded here in 50 essays on teaching.If I had to sum up my message to teachers in a paragraph, it would be this one. Invest in your students. Don't just share your passion for learning, but infect your pupils with it. Teaching is the most important job in the world; and teachers change and improve the world. What we say to our students, how we treat them, and what we teach them in our classrooms has a deep and lasting impact on their lives. The words and actions of one teacher ripple throughout the classroom, and into the entire world. It is not an easy job.
