A few thoughts on childhood, what living in Kansas means to me, and what keeps me grounded.

We all experience intense emotions like anger at times. Not only is anger normal, but it can serve as a great motivator and a way to improve one's emotional intelligence. It can encourage self-improvement, instill a sense of self-control, and even trigger our "fight" response which is necessary for survival. At the most basic level, anger can help children determine whether they're being treated fairly and allows them to tell when things aren't right. That being said, anger can become a severe problem if it grows out of control and leads to aggressive behaviors. An angry child isn't a bad one, nor are their attitudes and actions necessarily a result of behavioral problems. These intense emotions are often triggered by psychological, social, or even hormonal problems, which is why parents should try to understand where their children's anger comes from to handle the situation effectively. In most cases, the root problem is not apparent, which is why parents automatically assume that their children are misbehaving, so they take action accordingly. Grounding or yelling at a child who can't control their anger isn't going to fix anything and will likely make things worse. Fortunately, upon reading this book, you'll understand whether your child experiences uncontrollable anger and potential reasons why they might be angrier than others.

What can you do with a pack of marshmallows and some tinfoil? Create innovative, engaging learning opportunities; if you embrace the teacher geek mentality. What was your best lesson like? Rachel Jones thinks that her best lessons have happened when she's been brave enough to wonder, 'What might happen if ...?' and done something a bit different. That is what Teacher Geek is all about: making the most of the resources you have at your disposal, and shaking up your thinking about what will inspire, engage and motivate learners. A teacher geek will look to exploit all potential learning opportunities, and be comfortable with taking risks by working with resources from outside their subject area. You have nothing to lose by trying a few new ideas out in your classroom. What is more, a little teacher geek thinking can make lesson planning a whole lot easier. Here Rachel shows you how to blend edu-geeky analogue and digital teaching techniques, and offers suggestions on how to inspire your students, revitalise your practice, and gain the rapt attention of your class. Teacher Geek shows you how to turn your passion as an educator into real results in your classroom. It is all about celebrating a real love of teaching and learning. It doesn't matter whether you have access to the latest technology, or whatever else you have at your disposal, it is all about creativity, confidence and celebrating achievement. And - let's face it - there is more to life than worksheets. Suitable for all teachers.
