Back in the Classroom.

Elliott, Tomm J.

Educational Leadership, v51 n2 p28-30 Oct 1993

Describes a former superintendent's disconcerting swim in the teacher candidate pool while trying to find a teaching position without "pulling strings." After landing a job teaching 36 fifth graders, he soon realized that espousing methodologies is very different from actually doing them. Allowing students more responsibility for their learning worked wonders. (MLH)
