Great for elementary only,
By Laurie (Virginia, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Unauthorized Teacher's Survival Guide: An Essential Reference for Both New and Experienced Educators (Unauthorized Teacher Survival Guide) (Paperback)
For new teachers going into elementary school, this book is filled with good ideas and helpful advice. However, much of the writing is based on elementary students only. Most of the ideas would be considered too childish to use with middle or high school students. Also, many of the advice is clearly for elementary only (rewards for lining up in the hallway, giving students hugs, procedures for borrowing crayons, etc.) Looking at secondary teaching, I found this book disappointing.

Survival Tips no Teacher Should be Without,
By George (Dayton, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Unauthorized Teacher's Survival Guide (Paperback)
As a newer teacher in Middle America, I found this compact book to be an extremely worthwhile investment of my time and money. This book has lots of examples and advice to handle those non-education scenarios that often "make or break" a new teacher. Great tips on dealing with other staff (not all will be helpful!), parents etc. This is a book that will help all teachers, especially newer ones like myself, thrive and survive. Buy it. Read it. Its worth it (as is First Days of School by Mary Wang).

The Unauthorized Teacher's Survival Guide,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Unauthorized Teacher's Survival Guide (Paperback)
As a preservice teacher, I have researched several dozen books of this nature, and I found this one to be the best. It is a compact size (for tucking into my book-bag or purse), and it has hundreds of real-world teaching tips, scenarios and situations for consideration. There's solid information on gaining insight into youself as a person and as a teacher, and down-to-earth and sensible information on how to be successful in the classroom from the start. I got a huge charge of self-confidence from reading this book.
