So, you want to know a little more about me?
I’m flattered.
- I am a wife. My husband is my best friend.
- I am a mother. I have three beautiful children who bless me every day.
- I am a teacher. I have taught since 1997. I have taught 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th grades. I love middle school! In 2007 I became a reading coach.
- I am a reader. I find myself reading all the time, mostly education journals, student writing, blogs, websites, and knitting patterns. I do find time for books occasionally.
- I am a writer. I enjoy writing. Most often this writing takes place in my journal, but I know that eventually all this “practice” is going to turn in to something real.
- I am a knitter. I recently taught myself how to knit and enjoy knitting things for my friends and family.
- I am a Teacher Consultant for the West Tennessee Writing Project. I love talking to teachers about teaching.
- I am a Nashville Predators fan. We have had season tickets since the 2nd season they were in town.
- I am a sister. I have two older brothers and 4 older step siblings. I’m the baby in the family so I’ve always been spoiled.
- I am a daughter. I have a super mom and am blessed with two great dads. My first dad passed away when I was 15. A few years later, I was blessed with an Eddie. I’m over 30 now, so I’ve had my Eddie longer than I had my Daddy, but they are both very important to me.

Hello Busy Educator!
Marjan Glavac here from the Busy Educator’s Newsletter.
This year, I’m celebrating the 12th year anniversary of The Busy Educator’s Newsletter.
It’s one of the longest running newsletters on the Internet devoted to helping teachers become their best.
To celebrate this anniversary, and the start of a new year, I’m offering something special to teachers.
It’s an eBook from my good colleague and friend Rob Plevin.
Rob Plevin, a retired Deputy Head of a school for children with severe behavior problems, is making his 107 page Magic Classroom Management eBook available to all teachers who sign up for my newsletter.
He shares his secrets, tips, tricks, and strategies for improving student behavior in this no cost eBook.
Learn how to….
Teach your students to follow instructions without complaining.
Prevent inappropriate questions and maintain control of your lessons.
Win support from colleagues, parents and administration (which will make your job much easier!).
Motivate all students (especially low achievers and behavior challenges) to produce more higher-quality work for you than they ever have before.
Teach your kids to sit quietly in their seats and actually listen when you’re talking.
Silence any noisy class in seconds!
End low-level classroom disruptions, such as whispering. chatting. tapping pencils. dropping things and wandering.
Prevent ALL pupils from swearing – no matter how old they are and no matter how bad their behavior is.
Deal with major crises and confrontations quickly and calmly – knowing full well that you are in total control every step of the way.
Once again, Rob’s eBook is available at no charge when you sign up for The Busy Educator’s Newsletter.
To receive your eBook, go to http://www.glavac.com
All the best,
Marjan Glavac
