August 22, 2022 — Check out our Author of the Month, award-winning teacher Phil Done, on the Today show

Monday Morning Magic from Inkandescent PR + Publishing Co. — We love when authors hit the big time. Case in point: Our Inkandescent Author of Month was featured last week on NBC’s Today show.

“It was a goal of mine to share the news about my new book, The Art of Teaching Children, with as many people as possible,” Phil told me during our Inkandescent Radio and TV interview. “So it was a thrill to be featured on this 6-minute segment.”

About The Art of Teaching Children: In this book, which is sure to be a bestseller, Phil tackles topics you won’t find in any other teaching book, including Back to School Night nerves, teacher pride, lessons that bomb, the Sunday Blues, Pinterest envy, teacher guilt, and the things they never warn you about in “teacher school” but should, like how to survive lunch supervision, recess duty, and field trips.

Phil also addresses some of the most critical issues schools face today: bullying, excessive screen time, unsupportive administrators, the system’s obsession with testing, teacher burnout, and the ever-increasing demands of meeting the diverse learning needs of students.

With wit, wisdom, first-rate storytelling, and boundless compassion, this book is the definitive guide to educating children and the perfect resource for teachers and parents.

We leave you with this parting thought from Phil: “Real learning is messy, not linear. One of the most important parts of the school day is greeting kids in the morning as they enter the classroom. If a student is having trouble, look at what you can do differently before pointing the finger at the child. Ask yourself: Would I want to be a student in my class? When children watch you, they are learning how to be people, and one of the most important things we can do for our students is to model the kind of people we would like them to be.”

Until next Monday: Aim high!—Hope Katz Gibbs, founder, and president, Inkandescent® Inc.Inkandescent.us
