About this listen
From Annapolis to the classroom, discover key lessons on effective teacher leadership through the experiences of one courageous teacher.
Have you ever wondered what sets successful teachers apart, and how they positively impact the education system as a whole? Are you interested in discovering the strategies and skills that teacher leaders use to inspire and motivate others, both in and outside of the classroom? Would you like to draw from the experiences of a teacher leader who not only successfully navigated the challenges of racism, but also of the education system?
Dr. Jordan B Smith, Jr isn’t like every other teacher you see walking the halls of schools–there are a number of things that set him apart from his colleagues:
- His career in the military before entering the teaching profession.
- The unspoken rite of passage he went through in order to find success.
- His drive, determination, and passion to be the best educator possible.
Through these differences, Dr. Smith was able to forge a successful career as a teacher leader for the last 15 years of his 19 year teaching career. The best part? He is sharing all of the wisdom he gained over these years in this book so that you can apply what he has discovered to your career.
Inside, you will discover:
- The journey to becoming a teacher leader–including Dr. Smith’s personal advice to help you along the way.
- A collection of practical attributes to be a more effective teacher leader–with clear instructions on how to implement these in your own practice.
- The 12 rules to becoming an effective teacher leader–and tips on how to implement each right away.
- The role of teacher leaders in curriculum development–including a framework for effective collaborative curriculum development among teachers.
- How to build a strong school community (and how to get the entire school involved in the process).
- How to lead meetings that don’t leave other teachers resenting you.

Math has certainly gotten a bad reputation for being a subject that involves endless calculations and problems that will never be used in the real world, especially now that we all walk around with calculators in our pockets! But the fact is that math is required in multiple areas of an adult’s life, from preparing recipes to managing finances, and that’s without a career in STEM.

The gender gap reaches beyond the workplace: it also impacts medical diagnoses! While 13% of boys are diagnosed with ADHD, only 4.2% of girls are, and it’s not because girls don’t have it: it’s because we are misdiagnosed! To make matters worse, the older we get, the harder it is for medical professionals to diagnose and treat us properly. Often the only time a medical professional will notice it is if we have children who are diagnosed. By then, you’re used to living in the chaos of your home and brain!

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Grammar! For many of us, the word triggers memories of finger-wagging schoolteachers, and of wrestling with the ambiguous and complicated rules of using formal language. But what is grammar? In fact, it's the integral basis of how we speak and write. As such, a refined awareness of grammar opens a world of possibilities for both your pleasure in the English language and your skill in using it, in both speech and the written word.

Comprehensive Guide
This book is remarkable for combining military ethics and pedagogical instruction. Jordan B. Smith Jr.'s interpretation of the Annapolis Creed is an uplifting message that echoes the unchanging ideals of justice and equity spoken by Martin Luther King Jr. The novel is a riveting account of the protagonist's journey of self-discovery and dogged determination, prompting readers to consider their lives and the fortitude required to make a difference in the world. This book is necessary for anyone who requires an inspirational narrative of redemption and effect, including former armed forces members and educators.

An illuminating outlook
I have never really connected teachers with leadership, and this was an oversight I wasn't even aware of until I started listening to this book. I really loved the aspect about respect, which many educators seem to demand without really giving a reason why they deserve it. This book is a wonderful resource for educators, and I found it really illuminating on some aspects of leadership.
I am not yet an educator, but I hope I'll be a worthy one when I get there.

A great vision on teaching
I absolutely loved this audiobook, we often forget how impactful teachers are on their students. My dad is an English teacher, and he is passionate about his job, but it's not easy every day. He always told me that teachers needed to also be parental figures to some students, friends when needed, but also always have an eye out. This audiobook gives fantastic advice that new teachers need to hear! I loved how motivational and inspirational the author was, and i liked his "12 rules to becoming an effective teacher leader" because being a teacher ask a lot of skills, especially leadership!

I learnt a lot!
This book isn't just for teachers. It will help anyone trying to build a community, where that's physical or online, especially for the latter, as people sometimes forget that all communities are built on trust, even if you've never met the person. Some great tips on empathy, courage and relationships. Thoroughly recommend.

Get educated by a true educator
Smith gives us the keys to unlock the cabinet of his seemingly never-ending reservoir of education-spreading knowledge.
Wether one may want to enhance communication with peers or deliver difficult information to students, this audiobook will give you hands-on, real experiential based advice from someone who’s been there, worn the t-shirt, and gone back to teach a masterclass.
A rule-based framework is presented for the listener to become engrossed, step-by-step.
There are strategies for cultivating a healthy environment around peers, rallying positive educational communities, and harnessing the qualities of a teacher that will no doubt be followed and respected by peers and students alike, and so much more.
Not all teachers are built the same; be one of the outliers. This excellent title will show you how.
