Overcoming Obstacles: A Passion for Teaching and Living

Jackie Sistrunk, a national board certified teacher with 30 years’ experience, has put together this book of her favorite and most successful learning strategies. Why? She is most happy when she sees or hears about strategies that have worked, as have hers, and wants teachers to break out of the paradigm of just doing what the textbook says and do things differently. Jackie has used these strategies successfully with all her students she taught, kids in grades four through seven, for the lowest scoring kids in her school, and for gifted students. She even used the Paideia Seminar at the community college where she taught.
