The thirty six tips given in this chapter all seem very useful, some more than others, a lot of them made sense while a lot didn’t or weren’t true. I really liked the idea of having teachers make one extra photocopy of whatever it is they are working on and then placing it in a bin/folder specifically for their subject. At the end of the year each folder is emptied and pieced together and can be used as a portfolio of sorts for other teachers to branch off of. Department and quarterly meetings shouldn’t really be suggested, they should be required. Nothing helps a school run smoother than having each department turn like a greased wheel. With all parts working together, not much can go wrong. Funding, funding, funding. Money makes the wor… school go ‘round and everything click. Without money Mount Blue may look worse than it does now. Try to imagine that. Humor in the classroom is a //must//. I **can’t stand** teachers who have no sense of humor. Incorporating jokes into the lesson and curriculum is a must and can help students relax if used correctly. Yes, I’ve heard Theresa’s speech about it. Twice. Peer-mentoring, school visits and other things listed can all be considered and have the potential to make a classroom better.

This chapter sums up the book with 36 tips for teachers. Some of them are very useful, some of them are just repeats that the book covered many, many times before. One that stuck out with me is having humor in the classroom. This is so important. I am a very humors person and enjoy being around people that like to have a good laugh. Not only will this help some students loosen up but also it will make the classroom more of a community feeling rather then a jail. Teachers will be moving into differentiated classrooms and it is always helpful to keep theses tips on hand so that you are able to pull it out of "your bag of tricks" This was a great way to wrap up the book and continue our learning.

This chapter offers 36 tips for the aspiring teacher. I particularly liked the tips about providing funding for those teachers who wish to pursue more training and gain additional certificates. I plan on taking a grant writing class so that I may be able find funds to create and sustain more programs, especially in the health field.
