 If You're In Need of Inspiration...Jun 08, 2009
By Ken C.
Three-peat Teacher of the Year and YA author Alan Sitomer is a glass half-full kind of guy, and the proof in the school-cafeteria pudding comes in TEACHING TEENS AND REAPING RESULTS. As advertised on the front cover, it contains "stories, strategies, tools, and tips," though heavier on the "stories and tips" than the "strategies and tools." If you're a teacher, then, seeking a book that's bulging with ready-to-go, practical lesson plans, try another book. While it offers a few lessons you can try, this book is more focused on Alan's personal experience as an inner-city teacher in LA and on how those experiences can help you as a teacher -- whether you're in a city like him or in the middle of a field in Vermont.
While the book addresses student behavior and demands that students become accountable for their own educations, it also provides inspiration for teachers who may be sinking under the weight of cynicism and despair (you know -- the old Scylla and Charybdis of "Kids these days" and "They don't want to learn so why should I knock myself out trying to teach them?"). Alan offers plenty of insights into how to wake up the inner student that's there in every teen (you read correctly). Does it mean you'll become 100% successful at reaching every kid? Of course not. But it's a start, and your success rate and happiness level will climb dramatically if you adopt his mindset, values, and strategies.
Appendices in the back include info on how to make your classroom kid-friendly, how to get kids ready to learn, points to address with parents on back-to-school night, what books to buy for reluctant readers, and more. Useful stuff to get yourself ready for next September -- or heck, even next Monday -- this is a good addition to any teacher's professional library.

Teaching Teens and Reaping ResultsJun 04, 2010
By Alisha Hale
Although this book is focused on the author's experience as an inner-city West Coast educator, I found the ideas (and inspiration) just as applicable to my rural Mid-West teaching. The book presents real world ideas on relating to teens, not your typical textbook pedagogy. In my opinion, THIS is the type of book teachers need to read more of.

 Must Read for All Teachers Working With TeensApr 03, 2010
By E. Blackmon
I was so into this book that I was up late reading it on the first night of my spring break. My husband admonished me, "What are you reading that for? It's the first night of your vacation." My reply? "Because this guy is my new teacher hero!" Like the author, I also work in a Title 1 school and face many of the same issues of poverty, apathy, and illiteracy. I am sure that is one reason his reflections and ideas resonated with me, but I do believe any teacher working with today's teens can benefit from reading this book. Mr. Sitomer is a risk-taker who gets results for his students! If you are a teacher who is looking for a way to break out of test prep mania and find the path back to best practices in literacy instruction that will also get you the test results you need, then this is the book for you!
Great Resource!Dec 05, 2010
By P. Davis
I bought this book because another teacher talked about some great ideas/techniques she used in her reading classes that she read about in this book. It lived up to my expectations and then some. Alan's ideas are right on! HS teachers need to buy this book!
