About the Book

"Belmonte reminds us that teaching is not always about what you teach, but how and why you teach." —Katherine Hogan, Founding Lead Teacher Social Justice High School, Chicago, IL "This book is unique. The author invites potential and experienced teachers to think more deeply about numerous facets of teaching we encounter but seldom consider. I learned a lot!" —Barrie Bennett, Professor of Education OISE/University of Toronto Establish a teaching philosophy of your own with these insightful principles! The world needs its next generation of quality teachers. This reader-friendly and entertaining guide helps preservice and beginning teachers dive into the deep end of today's classroom challenges not ordinarily covered in traditional teacher induction courses. Combining theory with anecdotes from the author's extensive teaching experiences, Teaching From the Deep End guides readers through the process of finding their own way as educators. Dominic Belmonte encourages teachers to reflect on why they chose teaching as a profession and prompts them to think, to question, to observe, and to anticipate as they develop their teaching philosophy. Revised throughout, this updated edition of the bestseller: Includes suggestions for navigating school politics Offers ways to survive a culture of "testmania" Provides recommendations for working with colleagues and parents Gives expanded job-seeking advice for new teachers
