Book Reviews of The First Days Of School: How To Be An Effective Teacher
Book Review: FIRST YEAR TEACHER'S SURVIVAL GUIDE!!!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Upon graduating, I felt in my heart I would receive a primary grade job! Imagine my surprise when I got 7th and 8th grade! After reading this book, I felt I was ready for anything. My students didn't even figure out that this was my first teaching experience until the end of the year! That is how prepared this book makes you. I used this book's techniques daily, and I had a successful classroom as the result!Book Review: Absolutely essential tool for any teacher -- beginner or vet
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first picked up this book, I thought I'd browse through selected portions of it to get the general drift and see if there was anything I really wanted to delve into more deeply. How wrong could I have been. Once I began reading the first few pages on for whom the book was written and how to use the book, I could not put it down. Every page is filled with practical, classroom-tested wisdom for the teacher. From how the class should pass in their papers to that dreaded phone call to the parents, this book is the reference every teacher needs to have handy. Experienced teachers will find validation for some things they are already doing, but they will undoubtedly find even more things they can improve. This veteran teacher was almost embarrassed to learn techniques which were so logical they were almost self-evident. Unfortunately, they were not. That's why this book needs to be a ready reference for any teacher.Book Review: A Must Buy!!

Like others, I happened to pick up this book at a teaching store. I recognized Wong's name from other workshops and wanted to experience his writings. He is succinct, to the point and knows his stuff (she does too). It's worth it's weight in gold and this won't be one book I'll let other teachers borrow.Book Review: Easiest way to become a better teacher
Summary: 5 Stars
For any teacher wanting to become a better teacher, this book is a must read. I was one of the first teachers at my high school to get the book and coincidentally we watched his videos as an inservice. Almost immediately every teacher wanted to borrow my book. Wong's "methods" were quickly adapted by almost every teacher and the results have been phenomenal--both the students and teachers have noticed the difference. Wong has made us all better teachers.Book Review: This book should be reviewed every September.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is the ultimate teacher's resource. It is terrific for new and veteran teachers alike. The ideas are absolutely solid and lead to success. I am most impressed with the authors' strong moral fiber and understanding of what works in life and in class, and what doesn't. It is my plan to review the book annually for its powerful rejuvenating effect, just before I open my class to the children who will depend on the positive, strong leadership they need from me.
