5.0 out of 5 stars Every teacher's bible!, October 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: You Have to Go to School--You're the Teacher!: 250 Classroom Management Strategies to Make Your Job Easier and More Fun (Paperback)

This is without a doubt the most useful book a teacher, both new and experienced, can have! It is filled with wisdom from a woman who clearly has a passion for teaching and boy is it contagious!Every tip is told in a style I can relate to, with humor and years of experience behind it. I may not have survived my first year of teaching without my "bible" by my side. And now, after several years in the "force" I still re-read it for inspiration and a quick pick-me-up. Thank you Renee Rosenblum-Lowden for creating such a user-friendly, practical, supportive and direct guide/book to help so many teachers like me! And thank you for making a difference in my life!

This review is from: You Have to Go to School--You're the Teacher!: 250 Classroom Management Strategies to Make Your Job Easier and More Fun (Paperback)

This book was wonderful. It is short, I finished it in one afternoon, but the way the information was presented was excellent. Each tip is concise but thoughtful. If you are looking for help in one particular area, open the chapter, read through it in 10-30 minutes, and you'll be inspired.

This review is from: You Have to Go to School--You're the Teacher!: 250 Classroom Management Strategies to Make Your Job Easier and More Fun (Paperback)

This book has a lot of good little tidbits from a successful and experienced teacher. Some of it might seem like no brainers, but there is no way I could have known all of this stuff before going into the classroom.
