listened to the audiobook.
Very useful for my teaching practice.

There were a lot of useful hints in this book. I think that this would have been very helpful as a new teacher or if I was a mentor in a public school setting.

The only parts I had a hard time with were blanket statements and “FACTS.” There were quite a few statements made that might be true in most classes but not in all. Additionally, I think the author has sarcasm and condescension lumped into one concept when it’s not. Each time a paragraph was started with the word FACT (yes, it was in capital letters), it was actually an opinion.

Poetry does engage better complex info. Would buy this book to have at home. <3

I like this. There is nothing stellar in this book, and most of it is common sense, but it's great for first year teachers. Veteran staff should peruse this as well because we forget some of this when we are mired down by standardized testing etc. And we all need to be reminded how to speak to students; we make mistakes and don't even realize it.

She came to our school to speak for a professional development and she has impacted my teaching and classroom more than any other single individual with her "positive smile" philosophy and her great classroom management tricks.

I guess this book could be good if you were 10 years old and playing make-believe "I'm the teacher and you're the student" games, but the fact that this was written for adult teachers with degrees in teaching makes this feel borderline offensive.

Amazing, concise information for new teachers!

[Barb Keltner · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great book for 1st year or 41st year teacher!

[Karen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Common sense, but may be super helpful to a new teacher at least as a mental checklist of what to think about before school starts to make sure they've included everything in their plan.

Good clear information.
