I received a copy of this book from Goodreads Giveaways.

I thought this was a really great book. It is short enough that it is manageable for new teachers who are super busy and the topics it covers are applicable for teachers of any grade level. I especially appreciated how they gave several examples for the execution of each principle and each example focused on a different level, elementary, middle or high school. I thought it was an insightful combination of theory and practical application. You can definitely tell it was written by three people who have been in the trenches in education for quite a while.

I will be passing this along to our new teachers!

I think this was a great book with lots of actual examples on how to implement things and fix mistakes in your classroom. This would’ve been a great book to read even before going into student teaching, but especially before I actually started into my first year of teaching last year. Still very helpful/informative now, and it made me feel validated in wanting to avoid certain things/types of teachers that I have encountered in my experience already.

Really great for a first year teacher! Gave me a bit more confidence before I begin my first year in just a few short weeks.
