MoRE tHAN A bOOK This professional guide is so complete covers all the issues you might get to face as a new teacher!!! Great ideas to handle all types of exams!!! The images, charts, clues and advices are great! | ||
Questionable Advice Because it is written by a teacher who seems to have such a wonderful, loving attitude towards teaching and students, I wanted -- truly wanted -- to offer only a positive review on this book. The truth is, however, that -- as a 20 year veteran of teaching -- I recognize that there is so much advice given in this book that goes against educational research, that I simply cannot recommend it to any teacher. Some of the comments related to grading, setting up the classroom, curriculum design, etc. go against what we know about how kids learn. A better resource related to how to set up an effective classroom might be Harry Wong's First Days of School -- or for someone trying to better understand the research, I'd recommend Stiggins, Marzano, Wiggins, McTigh, Tomlinson, or Jensen. | ||
many rules, few examples BH This is a BIG book. It has many (probably ALL) the rules you need to know to succeed but has very few examples and "real life stories". For me, examples, illustrations (of decorated classroom walls, for example) and stories are essential. | ||
Excellent book! This is an excellent book for teachers - old and new! Great ideas on class organization. It has wonderful tools, activities, strategies and everything else you can think of to help you through the school year. It has everything from dealing with parents, administration, students, and co-workers to making your classroom organized and fun! It encompasses all grade levels, K-12. It has over 400 pages of ideas. This will be an invaluable tool for me! I can't wait to use some of the ideas in this book! | ||
Should be required text for all education majors This book has so much useful and insightful information that I will be referring to it for my whole teaching career. I wish it had been a required text for education classes. Many questions could have been answered and many unpleasant situations could have been avoided during substitute and student teaching. It is right up there with Harry Wong productions! | ||
