If I Were the Teacher

Teaching is hard and creating a thriving classroom environment is even harder. If I Were the Teacher is a read-aloud that helps teachers build a safe and loving community of trust and wonder. Children love to imagine, and that’s exactly what Max does on the first day of school. He dreams about what he would do if he were the teacher. His ideas are wild, chaotic, and downright hilarious. But in the end, Max realizes that it’s probably good he’s not in charge. He is very thankful for his teacher and decides that if she’s his teacher then he doesn’t want to change a thing. If I Were the Teacher uses inclusive and humorous illustrations to pull students into the story. This book will promote valuable conversations of imagination and curiosity while deepening the bond of the teacher-student relationship. If I Were the Teacher is a perfect addition for any elementary school teacher’s library.
