OPTIMIZATION
From the ordinary to the extraordinary teacher
(Maximize your productivity & propel your career)
|
Description
"A teacher does more than teaching in the classroom, he is a motivator, a psychologist, a supervisor, a guardian, a comforter ..."
These rhetorical words often used to describe the enormous work of a teacher make us more aware of the responsibilities as well as the alarming statistics that surround this profession. In fact, according to the latest study published by Létourneau (2014), the dropout rate for new teachers varies on average between 25% and 30% after the first year, then it rises to 50% after five years.
Optimization is a creative book that offers a strategic solution to this phenomenon while unveiling powerful principles that induce a paradigm shift in teachers. After 15 years, Mr. Mayard has gathered in this work the secrets that have allowed him to preserve his passion and achieve maximum productivity in his career.
Here are some elaborate topics:
1) Principles of optimization applied to teaching
2) The maximum cycle of productivity
3) Optimize family time and leisure
4) Optimization of the start of the school year
5) Optimization of exam success
For the novice teacher, this guide is an essential tool for navigating effectively through the early years of his career and thus obtaining remarkable results. For the experienced teacher or the dean, it becomes a driving force to surpass himself/ herself by taking on new challenges in his career or by initiating new projects and thus make the transition from the ordinary to the extraordinary. Certainly, the entire teaching community will benefit from this creative work.
“It has been my pleasure to work with Patrick Mayard in several educational projects (science presentations). I am very impressed by his teaching expertise. He serves as a role model for other educators.” –
Dr. Joe Schwarcz, Director of McGill office of Science & Society
“Patrick Mayard's spirit of excellence, leadership and motivation make him a motivated teacher, a remarkable professional and a distinguished person.
As a teaching colleague, I am always impressed by his passion and his motivation to pass on his knowledge to students as well as to stakeholders in the school community. He is a dedicated professional with the desire to contribute to the development of the people of the society in which he lives. ”
