Features: If you are a teacher, congratulations! This book is tailor-made for you. It is a guide that awakens your happy and positive self. This happy and positive self might quietly fade away in your daily routine of grading homework and receiving your salary. It calls for play—helping you discover your potential for humor—not just on weekends or holidays, but in your everyday teaching, because that is when you have absolute influence and authority. The teaching methods described in this book aim to create a learning environment full of trust, creativity, positivity, curiosity, and joy. You will find that the self-tests, fables, songs, and other fun activities are all designed to build a classroom full of laughter and play. These techniques are simple and engaging, so you don’t need to practice them—you can use them immediately. Through continuous exploration and refinement, we have thoroughly modified and supplemented these techniques. Their use by thousands of teachers and students across the country has shown that they are highly successful and effective.
