Awards and Recognition for Exceptional Teachers is the only book written with a focus on the need of teachers everywhere to receive recognition for outstanding work with students in the classroom. The focus is on K-12 and community college teachers. It covers recognition programs in the USA, Canada, London, UK, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Belize (San Pedro), Australia, South America and a few other countries.
You will learn why all exceptional teachers must have local and state awards and recognition programs:
* Every K-12 and community college system needs a teacher recognition program – less than 50% have them!
* All exceptional teachers should receive a special "thank you" from the board and administration – 85-95% don't!
* Learn how improved student learning evolves as teachers' self-images improve through recognition and national certification programs.
* Learn why board members and parents need to understand how recognition programs impact on improved student learning.
* Parents will learn about exceptional teachers and should demand all teachers be hired and retained at that level.
