Summary: 5 Stars
As a teacher, this book is a must read at the beginning of EVERY school year...and again throughout the year. I give it to all my student teachers as a going away gift, and to any family or friends for their first year of teaching. Book Review: Wonderful book for teachers!
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely recommend this book. I used it for a college class for teachers. It is very motivating and has lots of hands-on practical ideas. Should be a required read for beginning teachers! and even those who have taught a while.Book Review: Wong's book is a sandwich
Summary: 4 Stars
Harry Wong presents this classic book on how to be an effective teacher with vigor, heart and insight. The five chapters of the book range from inspirational pep talk to specific practical tips on how to survive long enough to become a successful teacher. If you are new to teaching or having trouble with it, this is a definite read.
The five chapters in this book:
1. The Teacher
2. Positive Expectations
3. Classroom Management
4. Lesson Mastery, and
5. The Professional (Teacher)
are like a sandwich. The first and last chapters are the bread. A little wordy, basic, and redundant. A Pep talk on self-esteem, how to get ahead, how to generate enthusiasm. Chapter 2 is the lettuce, it picks up the pace, dealing with what to wear, say, and how to interact with others. Chapters 3 and 4 are the meat with lots of good material on classroom management, dealing with students, assigning work, getting results.
Perfect for for someone wanting advice on a broad range of the challenges facing new teachers. Others may want to concentrate on specific chapters.
For a more nuts and bolts 'how to' book for dealing with the classroom and students, consider Fred Jones "Tools for Teaching." Includes Fred's suggested methods of going toe-to-toe with difficult students and specific methods for getting kids to work.
Book Review: A MUST for the first year teacher
Summary: 5 Stars
This book ia an absolute MUST for the first year teacher. I've taught for eight (+) years and have gotten so much out of this book. Harry Wong's strategies are a teacher's "bag of tricks" for her first day of teaching and many years,after. If you really enjoy being a teacher, look into this book. It is a valuable resource for any teacher.
