Great read the summer before teaching your first year

Comment:
This book is full of useful tools and advice. As a 10 year veteran of teaching in secondary schools,and a beginning administrator, I purchased this as a resource for new teachers. The author actually taught in the school I now work in. I did not meet her but have heard wonderful things about her classroom. I certainly am enjoying the book thus far.

Comment:
I found this very large book to be a waste of time & money. It's full of the same stuff we hear at all the workshops & education classes, which,in my experience, isn't really very helpful. There are a lot of forms & the book covers a lot of different areas, but doesn't have a lot about what I think is most important in managing a classroom: guidelines to real human interaction. Some may be looking for a bunch of formulas or rules: "if the students do this, you do this," but I have never seen that work very well. It usually takes far too much time, too. Also,the book seems to focus on the "teacher as entertainer" model: "make the class interesting, & there will be no problems." I have seen that work--for a few days--but I have never seen anyone keep it up successfully for 6-7 class periods a day for several weeks. A much better book, in my opinion, is The Reluctant Disciplinarian (I don't have the author's name handy). It doesn't offer any forms & rules, but it's fun to read & left me with a desire to get back in the classroom & enjoy my days with the kids.

Comment:
I love this book. There are a lot of different worksheets that can be used within the classroom. It provides several beginning of the year activities and also quite a few on going activities to be used throughout the year.

Comment:
This book contains some of the best techniques I have ever used for discipline in the classroom-and I have seen alot of techniques. This guide represents the most comprehensive set of tools that are ready to use and emphasize the importance of professionalism in the classroom. By reminding the educator that respect begins with modeling good behavior, this book can help even the most jaded of educational professionals.
I have found this book to be an invaluable tool in the classroom
