A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Herb Rogers, was blessed with a gift for creating academic and social activities for his students 'dressed up as fun.' From his very first teaching assignment, he incorporated the teaching of positive values into every aspect of his student's school day. This set the 'stage' he would follow throughout his 30 year career as a teacher, principal and consultant in the Philadelphia School District. This 'stage' was conflict and bullying prevention at its best! It paid off in handsome dividends. His career paths: Brooks Elementary,Shoemaker Jr. High,and Overbrook High Schools,all led to Cheyney, Antioch,and Temple Universities. From day one, he had a "Doctorate in Caring for Children" His motto: "I tend to the needs of my children and parents first....then I try to run my school." He used this philosophy at the Leidy and Alain Locke Schools as a teacher, and as principal of the Dr. Ethel Allen and Logan Elementary Schools. It was at the Allen School where it all came together. The school's creative value's building student activities were spot-lighted on Peter Jenning's Nightly News, BBC, the McNeil-Lehrer Report, on many local television spots and in local print. It was also here that the 'Sisters Sledge' got started. (google: Sister Sledge) Retired now for some 15 years, many schools are still using his value's building activities. This book is just one of the out-growths of those creative activities for young children and their parents ,'dressed up as fun.' Ask any former student or parent about their time under Herb Rogers, and they'll recall "those days of learning ,fun, and values" with fond memories. No wonder test scores and attendance were always up - discipline way down - parents so intimately involved. When you read the book...you'll see why ! For more info email author at class109@aol.com
