Teach Like a Pirate
In the crazy cut throat world of education, teacher are in a constant struggle to fit in. David Burgess is the author of several books including Dunk Tank and Teach Like a Pirate. On Mr. Burgess website, http://daveburgess.com/, he discusses the world of education Like a dunk tank. When a new teacher enters the school, they never know what will happen. They are just like a student that has moved to a new school. It can be hard to break in the cliques that have been previously been formed. Older teachers might think the newer ones are gunning after their jobs. The community might have absolutely loved the teacher you replaced and will instantly dislike you. We as teachers need to be resilient to others maybe not being the nicest. We have to carry on for the students. We have to carry on for the community.
