Jim Bob’s philosophy about teaching is simple. He agrees with Madeline Hunter when she said, \u201cKids don\u2019t care how much you know until they know how much you care!\u201d Many think she was being too \u201cwarm and fuzzy\u201d but what she meant was you are not going to reach some kids academically until you first reach them on the \u201chuman to human\u201d level. Sometimes the subject matter in our classrooms can\u2019t compete with the \u201cdrama\u201d in their lives. The main ingredient missing in a lot of our classrooms today is a \u201cconnection with kids.\u201d Jim Bob believes that research is clear, when students know you value them as a human being, not just another student; they will work harder for you and challenge you less. He also believes teachers don\u2019t need any more theory and new, trendy programs with catchy names.<\/p>\n
Jim Bob believes teachers need to be given research based, proven, practical strategies and applications that teachers can start implementing immediately \u2013 without throwing anything out that is working in their classroom. Jim Bob believes educators have the toughest job in America as they are asked every day to wear many different hats \u2013 mom, dad, nurse, counselor, teacher, advisor, judge, jury, lawyer \u2013 just to name a few.<\/p>\n
Jim Bob understands that students come into our classrooms and schools with different backgrounds and cultures and their cognitive abilities, assets and experiences are just as wide ranging.\u00a0 Sometimes the only thing students have in common is their age! The \u201cone size fits all\u201d approach does not work anymore.<\/p>\n
Jim Bob also knows the biggest unchallenged assumption by many today (especially politicians) about education is that kids are coming to school willing and ready to learn. As educators, we know this is not the case. We have a generation of kids coming to our schools basically un-socialized. Many students are learning behavior from TV shows, video games, social media and a myriad of other influences.<\/p>\n
Jim Bob knows there\u2019s not much we can do from 4:00 PM until 8:00 AM but there is a lot we can do from 8:00 AM until 4:00 PM. Jim Bob is dedicated to helping educators be successful through motivation, inspiration, humor and a common-sense approach to stress management. Most importantly, he leaves educators with as many proven, practical strategies as he can. After all, it was a teacher who once helped Jim Bob overcome his serious childhood stuttering problem. And that minor miracle happened in a classroom, led by an enthusiastic, well prepared, loving teacher.<\/p>[\/et_pb_team_member][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ctewebsite.com\/ctedemo4\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2207\/2024\/05\/my-bio-black.png” alt=”My Bio image” title_text=”My Bio” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size_tablet=”16px” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]
