The Lighter Side of Staff Development, (Paperback)

A sense of humor is essential for effective staff development!

As educators, we often take ourselves a bit too seriously, so veteran educator and illustrator Aaron Bacall offers a little perspective with these lighthearted cartoons. Whether used as overheads for meetings or as an individual break in a busy day, this collection of whimsical glimpses at staff development will provide a moment to laugh and add a little levity--and poignancy--to your workday. Intended to amuse, inspire, and reveal the simple truths that surround us, these illustrations are ideal for:

• Staff training days
• Conference presentations
• Classroom lectures
• Community meetings
• Internal communications

...and they will continue reminding us that we can laugh at almost anything! Aaron Bacall′s works have appeared in many publications: The School Administrator, Technology & Learning, The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, Barron′s, and Reader′s Digest. He has worked as a teacher, a principal curriculum writer for the New York City Board of Education, an antibiotic research chemist, and now as a full-time cartoonist.
