play in supporting the learning process during adolescence.
Time For A Tune-Up!: http://snipurl.com/baylin
36 year veteran middle school teacher Eric Baylin writes a monthly column for
the Education World website. Eric is a songwriter in his spare time (and when
you read his biography, you'll wonder how he has any), so each month he's furnishing
a song written just for teachers who need a "Tune-Up." Eric's first
contribution, "They Tell Me It's Only November," was followed by his
frank admission in December: "This Is Why I Am a Teacher -- All Those Breaks!"
Check out Eric's Education World webpage and sing along!
