Good organization conveniently organized into monthly tasks. Very repetitive, and the tasks are not always logically timed on new teachers needs throughout the year. There is so much in this book! It was very overwhelming for brand new teachers, and included some outdated ideas that don’t align with best instructional practices that may lead new teachers into bad habits that are difficult to readdress later.
