Louanne Johnson

St. Martin's Press, 1993

A must-read for all teachers!
This book by Louanne Johnson is the best book I have ever read. I first read it when I was a new teacher, fresh out of college. I was truly inspired by the love that Johnson displays for her students, and I would like to think that I have the same qualities as a ...

The Girls in the Back of the Class

Louanne Johnson

St Martins Pr, 1995

I can relate!
This should be required reading for every education major. I teach in an urban school; Ms. Johnson had something some of my young colleagues who quit teaching after a year do not have--resolve, persistance, and determination. There are no "bad" kids, there are kids ...

Teaching Outside the Box: How to Grab Your Students By Their Brains

LouAnne Johnson

Jossey-Bass, 2005

Some Unique Ideas for Effective Teaching
As an experienced elementary teacher, I especially appreciated the relatively novel features of this book. For instance, while discussing the layout of the classroom for effective learning, Johnson mentions the distracting effects of classroom odors, and recommends ...

Two Parts Textbook, One Part Love: A Recipe for Successful Teaching

Louanne Johnson

Backinprint.com, 2002

Don't enter the classroom for the 1st time without this!
I'm a first year teacher who was assigned this book for an Ed. course in college, and ended up buying her own copy! I love it, and have just started re-reading it in preparation for next school year. Why do I love it? Johnson is honest, her approach is no-frills ...

Making Waves: A Woman in This Man's Navy

Louanne Johnson

St Martins Pr, 1986

Anchors Aweigh!
I read this book in a library several years ago and feared it was now out of print. I'm SO glad to see the issue of a contemporary paperback. A balanced account -- and very fun to read. Or re-read. I'm recommending this book to anyone who's considering joining the ...

Dangerous Minds: They Were Problem Kids With One Last Chance . . . Her

LouAnne Johnson

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 1995

Couldn't Get Any Better
Dangerous Minds by Louanne Johnson is a real life story about a woman and her experiences teaching in an inner city program for unfortunate kids. I'm not much of a reader, but this story really got me interested. You can tell that this story is for real, by what ...

The Queen of Education: Rules for Making Schools Work (Jossey-Bass Education)

LouAnne Johnson

Jossey-Bass, 2007

One chapter doesn't make a book
I feel compelled to point out that the title essay Queen of Education is a SATIRE. That means it was not meant to be taken literally, but rather was a way of making a point. This essay is brief and does not represent the rest of the book which has a varied content and ...
