As educators, we often take ourselves a bit too seriously, so veteran educator and illustrator Aaron Bacall offers a little perspective with these lighthearted cartoons. Whether used as overheads for meetings or as an individual break in a busy day, this collection of whimsical glimpses at staff development will provide a moment to laugh and add a little levity--and poignancy-to your workday. Intended to amuse, inspire, and reveal the simple truths that surround us, these illustrations are ideal for: (1) Staff training days; (2) Conference presentations; (3) Classroom lectures; (4) Community meetings; and (5) Internal communications... and they will continue reminding us that we can laugh at almost anything! Aaron Bacall's works have appeared in many publications: "The School Administrator," "Technology & Learning," "The New Yorker," "The Wall Street Journal," "Barron's," and "Reader's Digest." He has worked as a teacher, a principal curriculum writer for the New York City Board of Education, an antibiotic research chemist, and now as a full-time cartoonist. He is a member of The National Cartoonist Society and is on the Board of Governors of the Cartoonists Association.
