Full of useful strategies. A tad outdated but overall good.

Given to me to read by my cooperating teacher, I realize I am using most of the techniques already, but found a couple more to try. It would be an awesome addition to the shelf of any new teacher who wants the baby steps to begin the process of their own management of the classroom.

... and if this is what you do --- SHOUT --- it's what you'll get. A MUST-READ for new teachers. It is packed full of classroom management strategies for all levels and grades. The thought going through my mind while reading this was "... my students mirror my actions and words ..."

Basically, this book is a good refresher of best practices in any classroom. If you read Harry Wongs and this one every once in a while, you should have an arsenal of best practices whether you are just beginning or have been in thr classroom for years.

This book is a gold mine of practical and genius strategies to help novice and veteran teachers alike establish effective classroom management. Benjamin Franklin's saying "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is illustrated throughout this book.
