Bag om Finding Martians in the Dark

An honest, humorous book for both new and experienced teachers offering wise advice based on hard experience, the occasional big mistake, and an even bigger heart. "It's complicated, this teacher thing," says the author. "But in the end, it's about honesty, openness, failures, and successes, and the myriad of emotions that accompany them all. Ultimately it's about putting the kids first, which I've tried to do. It's been a long journey but if I had to do it over again, I'd do it over again."Endorsements: "Biebel's sardonic wit is mellowed by a genuine love for kids and teaching . . . A Whitman-like sensibility flows through his stories of teaching, learning, and life." Susan J. Wegmann, PhDTom Schram, PhD, comments, "Honest and heartfelt, practical and wise, [Finding Martians in the Dark] embeds lessons of teaching and learning in a rich set of personal accounts. From hiding in hedges to tracking mud on clean floors to banging an oat bucket, Biebel creatively weaves everyday experiences into broader understandings of how one comes to terms with becoming a teacher. The narrative draws readers into the mind and heart of a veteran educator who has discovered the profound value and abundant humor to be found in the missteps and successes of classroom life."
