I read this book for a professional development to get hours toward renewing my teaching cert. While it does have some good concepts and a good premise - teacher training programs typically do not include behavior management prep and this was written to help with that lack- I found that there were many comments/ideas expressed in this book that continue to put unreasonable expectations on teachers. For example - an organized teacher is someone who is able to balance their personal life and meet students' needs. Talk to teachers, and the majority will say that this is something that they continue to struggle with balancing. Or, in order to build relationships, once of month go to a sporting event or after school event that a student might be in. To help ease transitions for challenging students and to build relationships, call those students on Sunday night. There is some good that I will take from this book, but it was mired in unreasonable expectations.
This was like a mash up of “Teach Like a Champion,” “Love and Logic, and “How to Talk so Kids will Listen,” but presented in an incredibly straightforward way. The 4 stars instead of 5 was just because it began to feel repetitive in the last chapter. I’ve definitely seen these practices begin to work in my school already and wish I had read this when I was still in the classroom.
Had some good tips that I plan to implement in my classroom, but was sometimes redundant and included some suggestions that didn’t seem appropriate in today’s educational landscape. If I wasn’t reading it for mandatory PD, I probably would not have picked it up.
