Author Ellen I. Linnihan illuminates three basic modes of operation--low, medium, and high concentration--that teachers must master to optimize their time. By understanding their classroom's rhythm and completing the right work during the different modes, teachers can more efficiently reach their classroom goals and, therefore, improve their lives in and out of school.
