 many rules, few examples August 3, 2008

This is a BIG book. It has many (probably ALL) the rules you need to know to succeed but has very few examples and "real life stories". For me, examples, illustrations (of decorated classroom walls, for example) and stories are essential.
 Excellent book! August 1, 2008

This is an excellent book for teachers - old and new! Great ideas on class organization. It has wonderful tools, activities, strategies and everything else you can think of to help you through the school year. It has everything from dealing with parents, administration, students, and co-workers to making your classroom organized and fun! It encompasses all grade levels, K-12. It has over 400 pages of ideas. This will be an invaluable tool for me! I can't wait to use some of the ideas in this book!
Should be required text for all education majors July 13, 2008

This book has so much useful and insightful information that I will be referring to it for my whole teaching career. I wish it had been a required text for education classes. Many questions could have been answered and many unpleasant situations could have been avoided during substitute and student teaching.
It is right up there with Harry Wong productions!

This text is jam packed full of helpful hint and strategies to prepare for the world of teaching.I am a fifth year BED student and I have found this book very applicable to real life world of teaching. In my opinion I think this text should be taught in classes like theory and practice at university. I recommend this book to anyone pursuing teaching it is fabulous resource and well worth your money.
 A good general book, but not a book that will save a beginning teacher... July 1, 2008

As a mentor of K-8 beginning teachers, I was looking for a book with implimentable, concrete ideas. This survival guide is largely a book of lists and general knowledge. It might be more applicable for high school teachers. If you are looking for materials to get your first year off to a solid start, I do recommend Harry and Rosemary Wong's book How to be an Effective Teacher: The First Days of School and their CD set How to Improve Student Achievement. I spent today reviewing First Year Teacher's Survival Guide... and How to Be An Effective Teacher... while listening to the CD set. The Wongs' materials will guide any teacher to becoming an effective teacher. The survival guide would be a 'nice to have'; the first days of school book is a 'must have'. I'm returning the survival guide.
