Good Morning Year 11: One African Teacher's British Classroom Stories
"I wish I didn't pick up your new book. Now, I'm late for my appointment." - Rosemary
From tantrums to talkbacks, near misses to half-brained excuses, Good Morning Year 11 gives you front row view of ethnically diverse interactions in a classroom through the eyes of one African immigrant teacher.
Christiana dreamed of British teenagers behaving like the British monarchy. Instead, she got some sass and sloppy speech. Would this African Princess survive her first year of teaching? Can Africans discipline children without smacking or shouting? Welcome to the life of a Nigerian teacher in a British classroom!
Immigrating is challenging enough. You are suddenly the minority when you used to be the majority. Building a successful teaching career without being free to be fully African explains why there are so few black teachers.
Curated over the years, Good Morning Year 11 will make you laugh at what can happen in the ever changing classroom environment, showing you can build and enjoy your career in a foreign country while retaining the essence of your culture. These classroom stories will remind you of those funny times from your school days.
As a Nigerian woman, Christiana has spent the last five years teaching Maths to 11- to 16-year olds in a Northern England school, with varying degrees of patience. She has had many hilarious exchanges with her students that have made this time unforgettable, some of which she shares in Good Morning Year 11.
"I found your book such a joy to read, refreshing pleasant nostalgia." - Tolu
"Simple to read and many moments that made me chuckle. Now, I get why the 'African teacher' title. Well done." - Samson
"I had many moments of squeals and loud laughter as I could either relate with or imagine the experience." - Jola
