Teachers who succeed in today's difficult urban school environment are stars. Becoming a Star Urban Teacher is a comprehensive multimedia kit specially designed for schools who face the challenges of students at-risk. Based on the research of Martin Haberman, distinguished professor of education from the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, Becoming a Star Urban Teacher reviews the 7 key characteristics Haberman found in common among star urban teachers.

These characteristics are explored through 7 insightful video case studies:

"What to do about Raymond" focuses on the quality of Persistence in problem-solving

"The Home Run" focuses on Protecting learners and learning

"Hanging the High Street Gallery" focuses on Putting ideas in practice

"A Risky Business" focuses on Approach to At-Risk students

"Fighting Chance" focuses on Professional versus personal orientation

"The Maze" focuses on Avoiding burnout in the bureaucracy

"Judgement Day" focuses Teacher fallibility

These seven characteristics are brought to life through real-life situations featuring star urban teachers in their environments. Becoming a Star Urban Teacher is the perfect tool for engaging preservice, novice and veteran teachers. Because of the realism of the video case studies, you can use the programs for: General staff development and inservice programs that are highly interactive and promote group reflection Entry-year support programs for beginning teachers Preservice teacher education to help teacher educators prepare future teachers Graduate education programs that introduce and explore important concepts and theories about effective practice	FREE DOWNLOADS
