B.A.D. TCHR NOTEBOOK

"Why am I here?" "Why am I doing this?" "Is my core content pedagogy sufficient to enrich the lives of my students?" "Is this the result of some, at times, seemingly cruel cosmic force that has willed one into the profession of education?" are questions many teachers have asked ourselves at some point in our careers. And answers are likely to vary much like an English/Language Arts reading comprehension short-response question.

Thus, the B.A.D. TCHR notebook serves as a think-space for educators to document the ups and downs of the work [we] perform weekly by highlighting the lived experiences as classroom teachers on its lined pages.

Our 120-page paperback and hardcover stationery come in achromatic colors (black and white) with a magnificent matte finish and are sized in a 6x9 format for convenience, excellent for notetaking or journaling: Notwithstanding bond-tight binding to prevent tearing reinforced by an eye-catching and sturdy cover to keep musings intact.

20th-century prose stylist Vladimir Nabokov encourages pen or pencil movement, "These pages are still blank, but there is a miraculous feeling of the words being there, written in invisible ink and clamoring to become visible."

Teachers, OUR stories are necessary. So please write them down!
