Book Reviews of The Essential 55: An Award-Winning Educator's Rules For Discovering the Successful Student in Every Child

Book Review: "May be helpful to the novice teacher, but more foam than substance"
Summary: 3 Stars

I hate to rain on the Clark parade, but honestly, the lists of helps I found to be more foam that substance. Sure they are ideals all of us as teachers look to instill in our students, but I'm not sure we need a book to tell us they're good.

Kudos to Clark on his accomplishments, but if you're looking for practical helps on becoming a better teacher, there are better works.

"Teacher Under Construction" is the standard in the field for new middle school teachers, and "Extreme Learning" is great for heavy-research learning. While neither will make you slip into an emotional 'yea, rah! rah!' as well as Clark's book, both will make you a better teacher.
