Selected Works

Education
Hundreds of academic icebreakers - and 40 ideas for classroom closure.
I wrote this book as though I were sitting down with somebody who wanted to talk about becoming a teacher, or somebody who wanted to get a better handle on classroom management (especially discipline) so they could enjoy teaching and their students could enjoy learning. Spread the joy!
My memoir about teaching disenchanted teens.
Fiction
Meet Eddie Corazon, a 16-year-old juvenile delinquent and poet-philosopher.
