Time to Teach!: Encouragement, Empowerment, and Excellence in Every Classroom (Unabridged)

Time, it has been said, is the coin of learning. Yet every teacher knows the frustration of losing precious instructional minutes to disruption. Time to Teach! is the answer that thousands of classrooms across the country and around the world already rely on.

In this complete, unabridged reading, you will discover a classroom management approach that is simple, fair, and built on mutual respect. Drawing on decades of work with new and veteran teachers, authors Rick Dahlgren and Judy Hyatt show how good timing is the real key to discipline: how prompt, calm attention to the "little stuff" prevents the "big stuff" before it ever starts.

You will learn to arrange your classroom for success, connect with students in ways that earn genuine cooperation, teach your expectations instead of simply posting them, and use the proven REFOCUS strategy to redirect behavior without losing your cool or your lesson.

Whether you are stepping into your first classroom or refreshing a career's worth of experience, this audiobook gives you a practical, encouraging, and field-tested plan to take back your time and rediscover the joy of teaching.
