Teaching the Ms. Abbott Way Lessons in Learning, Leadership, and Life – (PDF/EPUB Version)

Even before the hit TV show whose name she inspired ever aired, Ms. Abbott was a larger-than-life figure. The teacher who put the “Abbott” in TV’s hit Abbott Elementary is just as serious about education—and caring—as the show is funny. In her classroom, in the hallways, and in her Philadelphia neighborhood, she could do what other teachers couldn’t. But even the legendary Ms. Abbott wasn’t always prepared for the situations she faced, though she was always up to the challenge. Now, Teaching the Ms. Abbott Way is here to tell her story and inspire educators with her example. This book looks at the key moments in Ms. Abbott’s career and life, gives voice to her philosophy on teaching, and shows how any educator can care for their students by being serious and passionate about not just what they learn but the climate and community they learn it in.
