What they're saying about Jivin' Johnny's A Teacher's Notebook - Reflections and Inspirations from the Classroom:

"John Philips' A Teacher's Notebook won't tell you what to do the first lesson on Monday morning nor how to organize your classroom or teach particular subject matter. But it does convey a deep sense of what an important and human endeavor teaching is with the authority of someone who has been a teacher for 31 years and obviously loves the job. Divided into three sections, the book presents John Philips' reflections on the nature of teaching, what can be learned from students, parents and other teachers, and 'lessons' from the classroom."
- EQ Australia (Summer 2001)

"This book is the benchmark by which good teaching may be measured. Whenever I get discouraged or lost in education's daily battles, I turn to Jivin' Johnny's A TEACHER'S NOTEBOOK and soon I'm back on track, 'making a difference again."
- Special Education Teacher

"The love of learning and sharing is so evident throughout A TEACHER'S NOTEBOOK. The book should be assigned reading for teachers just before retiring for the day. I hope this book will be an inspiration for younger teachers. The book is not only filled with philosophy, but with practical ideas for all teachers."
- Enrichment Teacher

 

Jivin' Johnny writes:

'I entered teaching because, as a student some of my own teachers had awakened the love of learning in me, encouraged me and made me realize that my life was special and important. At that time I felt that teaching might be the most important job in the world; 31 years later, I no longer simply feel that to be true -- I know it!

'It is with that conviction that I offer you Jivin' Johnny's A Teacher's Notebook: Reflections and Inspirations from the Classroom. I don't regard this book as a 'Declaration of War' against those whose comments and actions reveal a disdain for teachers and a lack of respect and concern for students; rather, I offer it as an 'Article of Faith and Pride' in what we are and what we do: teachers do matter -- it is we teachers who do and will make the difference in the lives and world of the future.'

The last section of the book ('Yearbook Snaps') is comprised of profiles based upon real classroom events, students, teachers, principals and support staff.
