You can do this : hope and help for new teachers
\"Teaching is a hard job--there's no denying it. From learning how to manage a class full of hormonal students, to developing productive relationships with fellow teachers, administrators, and parents, to designing engaging lesson plans that will meet ever-increasing levels of accountability, the profession can be stressful. Add to this low pay and a lack of prestige, and it makes for one challenging career. At the same time, there is no profession more rewarding than teaching. Literally every day, a teacher has the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of young people, and to influence the future like few others can. Veteran teachers have been in the job long enough to see how their teaching has made a difference in the lives of former students. But for new teachers, such rewards are too far off--it's hard work with very little payoff. How can a new teacher stay energized and focused on what's important? Reading You Can Do This by bestselling author and popular presenter Robyn Jackson is like sitting down to dinner with a mentor who believes in you, who knows enough about teaching to give you great advice, and who wants you to succeed. Robyn reminds new teachers why they're in this profession--what kids need from them--and coaches them on avoiding pitfalls and making the most of their teaching careers. This beautifully packaged book makes an ideal gift for new teachers\"-- Provided by publisher.

Stop Leading, Start Building!
You are a school administrator--a principal or maybe a district leader. You're doing everything \"right\"--poring over data, trying new strategies, launching annual initiatives, bringing in outside trainers. So why do the outcomes you seek still seem so far away? The problem isn't you; it's that you were trained in school leadership, and school leadership just isn't up to the challenge. Each year, Robyn R. Jackson helps thousands of administrators stop wasting time and energy on flawed leadership approaches that succeed only with the right staff, students, parents, budget, and boss. As they have discovered, it's possible to transform your school with the people and resources you already have. The secret? Stop leading and start building! In this book, you'll learn to use Jackson's breakthrough Buildership Model™ to escape the \"school improvement hamster wheel\" and finally create the school your students and teachers deserve. The work involves a few simple shifts in how you approach your school's: (1) Purpose: Instead of chasing tiny gains or the \"next new thing\" every year, you'll establish and use an ambitious vision, mission, and set of core values to galvanize your staff, keep everyone focused, and create true accountability for achieving your goals; (2) People: You'll discover new ways to help every teacher grow one level in one domain in one year or less and, ultimately, develop high levels of both will and skill; (3) Pathway: Instead of trying to tackle every problem at once, you'll identify the biggest obstacle standing in your way right now and figure out exactly how to remove it once and for all; and (4) Plan: You'll learn a new process for solution implementation that is iterative, cyclical, and capable of powering both short-term wins and ongoing transformation, year over year. When you stop leading and start building, you let go of the idea that you need to work harder to make your school \"work better.\" You no longer settle for incremental improvement when what you really want is dramatic change and better learning outcomes for all. It's time to make the shift from \"leadership\" to \"buildership.\" Get ready to turn your school into a success story.

How to motivate reluctant learners
What we call \"motivation\" in school is really a decision students make to invest in our classrooms. It's our responsibility to show students the value of investment and guide them toward behaviors that will support learning.
In this guide, Robyn R. Jackson takes you step by step through the process of motivating reluctant learners--what great teachers do instead of relying on elaborate rewards systems or creative tricks to reach students who actively or passively resist investing themselves in the classroom. Here, you'll learn how to
* Identify the classroom investments to ask for by considering the motivated behaviors you most want to see and ensuring that what you're asking for is specific, meaningful, observable, realistic, worth the effort, and small.
* Create a classroom worth investing in by removing \"demotivating\" practice- and procedure-based barriers and giving students more opportunities for autonomy.
* Understand and address students' resistance and respond with instructional strategies that minimize perceived risk and maximize immediate benefits.
* Ask for and shape an investment by reaching out to students in a nonconfrontational way and providing a clear path toward motivated behavior.
* Create a motivation plan that's tailored to the students you teach and designed to be effective in the long run.
