"A native of Detroit, Kelley Callahan Chikos has hopped around to three states, discovering different ways of life in each. From post-war Detroit, with its booming auto industry, to rural Amish-influence Hartville Ohio, to suburban, fast-paced Chicago, Chikos has painstakingly leaerned the fine art of adapting to new situations. During this time, she pursued her undergrad and graduate degrees, attending eight different colleges and universities. Oh, and raised two kids. So it came as a shock when at 40 years of age, she entered the teaching profession and found herself caught unaware. Her tried-and-true adaptation skills didn't work for her new profession. The unxpected, unrelenting demands of the job were coming at her too rapidly and from too many directions. She couldn't keep up or even make sense of how it all worked together. Despite all satisfactory evaluations, at the end of her first year the principal recommended she be let go. Why? That question is answered in this book. Determined that no new teacher should have to founder and consume the quantitiles of Maalox she did. Chikos offers this book of explanation and encouragement. laced with the essential quality no new teacher can succeed without -- a rock-spod sense of humor!" -- page 4 of cover. |
