Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. EMBRACE YOUR INNER AUTHORITY FIGURE, by Marilyn Wade Duff, is a conversation with today's high school teachers who despair at ever gaining control of their rowdy, disrespectful classes. During another tumultuous era for teachers, the turbulent 1960s and '70s, Duff was voted Senior's Favorite Teacher by her students who said that she was "strict" but made her classes "fun" and "interesting." The author looks back at what some call the "last good years" of education in mid-century America, when our country rode the top of the charts in scholastic achievement. What was different in the classroom then? What worked then that helped teachers to impart knowledge, move a class forward and at the same time maintain their respect and attention? Here the author explains exactly how to get control on the very first day of school in September and keep it all year. To make her points she uses real classroom encounters that are interesting, poignant and inspiring. EMBRACE YOUR INNER AUTHORITY FIGURE is a must read for high school teachers but also for office holders, administrators, and parents who care about America's schools. A writer-teacher, Duff's columns on education and issues of adolescence have appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Atlanta Journal Constitution, Philadelphia Inquirer, Dallas Morning News, Wall Street Journal, San Diego Union, Orange County Register, St Louis Post Dispatch and Today's Education: The Journal of the National Education Association, among others. EMBRACE YOUR INNER AUTHORITY FIGURE deserves its place in the discussion of how to fix America's schools.
