Every month Marjan Glavac, professional speaker, teacher, longtime supporter of the Teachers.Net community, and co-author of “How To Thrive And Survive In Your Classroom,” has provided for Teachers.Net Gazette readers “The Busy Educator’s Monthly Five.” The Monthly Five is an annotated list of websites Marjan believes educators will enjoy seeing and using. You’ll find the list below, but first, we’ve invited Marjan to tell you about his helpful new resource: an ebook, How To Make A Difference: Inspiring Students To Do Their Best, that might be the teaching resource you’ve been looking for.

Hi! Elementary school teacher Marjan Glavac here.

At this time of year it’s easy for teachers to get in a rut.  We experience burnout because of everything that is asked (or demanded) of us by our administration, departments, parents, and students.  It seems as if we are always having things added to our plate without ever having anything taken off.

Trust me…I know this feeling.

If you find yourself completely exhausted from constantly disciplining students and are ready to say “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH” then I know you’ll appreciate this book.

I honestly believe that the teaching strategies in this eBook will help you take back control of your classroom and enjoy teaching once again.

Teacher Debbie Morgan from Banks County Upper Elementary had this to say about it: “Thank you so much for the resource that makes me feel like I am still in the right career. So many times before reading “How to Make a Difference,” I left school feeling that it is time to make a change. But now, I feel so much better about myself in the classroom that I am able to tackle even the most difficult of situations and still come out feeling that I AM making a difference in a child’s life. Your strategies, especially about the reward systems have had a wonderful impact on my students this school year.  For the first time, I have a student teacher and I have asked her to read it as well.”
