Overview

After almost forty years of teaching English and English as a Second Language to teens and adults in inner city schools in Indianapolis and Los Angeles, Cheryl Clark looks back on her career in this compelling memoir. Along with the rewards she reaps from grateful students learning by her witty and sometimes irreverent teaching style, Clark contends with a boy who overdoses on cocaine in her classroom, the frustrating whims of school boards, and the interference of an-ever changing line of principals.Clark recounts her journey from novice, fresh-faced neophyte -- always the youngest on the staff -- to wizened veteran educator who's seen pretty much everything, and doles out practical, no-nonsense advice for new teachers just starting on their career road.Included is an appendix of lesson plans, tests, and other helpful teaching tools.
