I wish I had had access to a book like this 25 years ago. I always purchase this book for new teachers in my building as well as experienced teachers who are having difficulty.Book Review: I give it as a gift to new teachers
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one book that all teachers and perspective teachers should have and read. As the principal of a small rural school there is not always time to give new teachers all the hints and ideas that are important as they begin the year or their career. This book is one answer. There are so many good thoughts and ideas. I have read it myself and now give it to any new teachers we hire as well as career teachers who need to revitalize themselves in relation to teaching basics. It has been well received.Book Review: As a student teacher, this book MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE!
Summary: 5 Stars
In a Master of Arts in Education student, I was given this book in Classroom Management class. As a student teacher in both junior and senior high schools, it has become my most used book. Full of concise, easy to use and find tips, this guide has helped me make my classroom an effective, fun and cooperative learning environment for everyone, including myself! God bless Harry and Rosemary Wong!Book Review: A must for not only 1st year teachers, but for all teachers.
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought I knew how to manage a classroom and work with children, but my first year was confusing. All those things they teach you in college education classes just don't work in the real world. But I came upon this book during the summer. I was amazed at all the mistakes that I had been making and could now understand why I was having problems in maintaining order. I started out the new school year with the various techniques and ideas that the authors suggest. This year is so much more organized; my classroom activities just flow, classroom control had greatly imporved, and the students seem to be learning more, as test scores climb. It has centaily made my life as an educator much easier. I especially appreciated the chapter which makes you look at yourself and see if you are merely a "teacher" or are you a motivational "educator". I have shared this book with others who have been in the profession for many years and they have all have had high praises for the book. I understand that several of the surrounding colleges are considering adding this as a text to their educational programs. I honestly feel that graduating students would be far more prepared to fact actual classroom situtations with this knowledge under their belts.Book Review: I really feel prepared to teach after reading this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book contains all the important information you don't learn about in college! Before reading this book, I was very concerned about classroom management; I now have the courage and the confidence to face my first year of teaching!!
