The Other Side of the Desk: Stories and observations of a teacher

The Other Side of the Desk is an accumulation of stories and personal conclusions made by a teacher with over thirtyseven years of teaching experience. Also included are stories from her years as a child-student growing up in a small town in Iowa. The stories are every teacher’s stories. Any teacher reading them might say, “Yes, that happened to me” or “Yes, I have often felt that way.” Also included in many of the stories are tips for teachers (according to N. J.). These might be benefi cial to ‘novice’ teachers or ‘wannabe’ teachers.
