What can we learn from a teacher's journal about working with challenging youth? Why does the
Training Room Program in German schools impede the development of an empowering learning
culture? What experiences transpire during a train trip to the sea with an unruly crew of
school boys? Or: what happens when children plan a trip on their own? Anyone who has
accumulated experiences in teaching faces creative choices when putting that legacy to paper.
The author chose to use this selection of studies to illustrate formative and inspirational
moments from his years as a dedicated teacher and father.
