Becoming a Win-win Teacher: Survival Strategies for the Beginning Educator
Author: Dr. Jane Bluestein
My research this week took a turn into a different direction. My original thought was to research teaching strategies for different learning styles. As I was looking through the different databases for a book that would interest me, I was not finding any luck. I used multiple keyword searches and used several search engines ranging from the Leatherby Libraries to Google books and also some research at my public library. The titles I was finding did not give adequate information that I would have wanted to receive.
While conducting
multiple searches with a variety of keywords I did end up seeing some titles
that did interest me but took me away from my original research topic. Instead of researching the learning styles of
students I have decided to look more into the kind of educator I want to
become. I searched with the keywords “First
year teachers” and came up with quite a few results. While looking into the titles I was very
interested in once in particular. “Becoming a Win-win Teacher: Survival
Strategies for the Beginning Educator” stuck out to me a lot. While reading portions of this book I started
thinking about how it will it be in my first year. What kind of teacher will I be? The author,
Dr. Jane Bluestein, gave some great examples of experiences she had and also
gave great analogies of the types of feelings you could have stepping into a
teaching role.
I am really
hopeful that the remainder of my research will be very beneficial to my future
goals. I feel like I had a broad idea of
what I was trying to research and it made it difficult for me to find a book
that would really stand out and be helpful.
I also think the variety of keyword searches I used help me find what I
was looking for and what was interesting to me.
