The English Teacher's Companion: A Complete Guide to Classroom, Curriculum, and the Profession by Jim Burke

5.0

I think that every teacher who teaches English needs this book! It is filled with wonderful and relevant ways to encourage students to get dirty with reading, writing, and speaking. I literally had to go out and buy more sticky notes to mark the last half of the book. Not only does Burke back up his chapters with research, but he also gives great ways to implement these teachings into your classroom.


I will continue to subscribe to Burke's methodology and research and borrow his lessons and tools for as long as I am in the English classroom! I am sure this will be a book I gift to any student teacher I have later in my career.
