I wish I had this book when I was a classroom teacher. While a lot of the ideas and strategies were reminders of what I already know, there was a lot to learn as well! This book is accessible with concrete, implementable strategies that I’m sure I will continue to refer to throughout the years.

Good ideas in a friendly format. Nice reminders of good practices. Nothing earth shattering and new, but a super resource!

[Simon]

Not a bad book for teaching. This is the second book that told me not to read it cover-to-cover, but I do not listen!

[Diana Valdivia-Rodriguez]

This book has lots of teaching strategies to use in classroom management in any subject area and grade level.

Informative and will be buying a copy! Boring as fuck but necessary and anyone who's been a manager, scout leader, teacher, volunteer, etc should read this.

[Danielle Cozzola]

Pretty straightforward. I liked that about this book.
