From the Trenches: Practical Experience in Secondary Education Dr. Clara Clothiaux

How can a frustrated teacher approach a troubled student, and are all cases the same? How should teachers interact with parents, or with each other? Are there unknown detriments to the current system of standardized testing? Clara Clothiaux uses thirty-four years of education experience to answer these questions and more. She is the winner of numerous awards for education, including Auburn City School's Teacher of the Year Award, the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics Teaching, and the Delta Kappa Gamma Excellence in Teaching Award. In this book, Clothiaux uses her years spent teaching science and math in secondary programs all over the country to offer practical solutions for dealing with the day-to-day issues of teaching--from her time spent in the trenches.
