As educators, learning is what drives the classroom experience, which is why professional development is key. Elizabeth already knows there are consequences to her actions since she’s done something like this before.

The Teacher by Tim Sullivan | Waterstones

Maybe parts were a bit far fetched, but my thriller loving brain could still accept them in the context.

Danielle Stewart's THE TEACHER is a twisty, riveting psychological thriller with a cast of unreliable narrators of a woman who befriends one of her students who needs help and gets caught up in a dangerous web of deceit, lies, secrets, and revenge that may destroy her entire family when the past and present collide. Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for an advance copy of this book in exchange for this review. She follows Penny, a southern middle school math teacher who grappled with a toxic staff clique at the big school in a small town; Miguel, a special ed teacher in the western United States who fought for his students both as an educator and as an activist; and Rebecca, an East Coast elementary school teacher who struggled to schedule and define a life outside of school. She was sexually assaulted at a party but what Elizabeth is not prepared for is win Daisy claims it was her 15-year-old son who threw the party and also the one who assaulted her. As a concept, it refers to the idea that teaching should support the needs of all students, regardless of their background or how they identify.

The authors draw on a huge body of evidence to address many common classroom myths that we could all do without. Whether or not you agree with everything in this book, every teacher should at least be acquainted with its arguments. No one knows your students, subject, school, culture, challenges, constraints and opportunities like you.Despite these issues, I did find the character development commendable, especially in Elizabeth's case.
