Dealing with Difficult Co-Workers
Mr. James was the consummate professional who had many years of experience dealing with \"at-risk\" students and had always managed to be extremely successful. He taught the most difficult groups of students, yet he seldom, if ever, had discipline problems. His students were successful (some for the first time in their lives). He had very high standards from which he seldom wavered. He believed in taking students from where they were and leading them toward where they needed to be. No excuses allowed. He made none for himself and accepted none from his students. He was highly respected by students, teachers, parents, and administrators. He was the kind of teacher that we all aspire to be.

Recognizing Student Strengths
It was the third week of school and a new student was assigned to Mrs. Bartlett's 3rd grade class. His name was Juan. Juan, of course, came with a history-a history of low achievement, of defiance, of a troubled family life, and of several attempts made by three prior schools to \"classify\" him as one in need of special education services. However, none of these attempts thus far had been \"successful.\" His reading level was that of a first-grader. His math skills were those of a second-grader. And his social skills-well, let's just say that Juan had lots of room for growth. The principal, on learning of Juan's history, had intentionally assigned Juan to Mrs. Bartlett's class. Why? Because Mrs. Bartlett was a true artist in her teaching. She had the rare quality of finding the good in all students and nurturing their strengths as opposed to dealing with their faults. She had been teaching for almost three decades and often enjoyed letters and visits from former students who claimed they owed much of their successes in life to her influence. But could she work her magic with Juan? Read on.
