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 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 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.

This is the best book I've seen for all levels of teachers. Most of the new teacher books are geared for elementary teachers, yet this is full of great ideas and helpful hints for secondary teachers too. It's been very helpful in my first year as a high school teacher. It is full of ideas to help one prepare for all areas of planning and preparation for that first year. I would recommend it to all new teachers.

This book is full of helpful ideas. I purchased it as a gift for a new teacher, who loves it. As a veteran teacher, I did not find the advice especially original, but I also know that many of the strategies in this book are things I learned by experience and not in teacher education classes. This would be an excellent book for student teachers and first-year teachers; they will feel more prepared to deal with the day-to-day challenges of teaching.

During my second year of teaching the author of this book came to talk to the new hires at the district I had just moved too. She was amazing and she signed and donated 2 copies to the door prizes. Being the second person whose name was called I of course choose this book. It was full of wonderful ideas! When my friend began teaching the following year in high school (I teach elementary) I bought her a copy as well, she said she loves it. It is great for all age levels!

I found this book to be practical and inspiring. I am certain that I will read it many times! I loved it!

This book is full of great, practical ideas. However, since I've been teaching for eleven years, I didn't find a lot of new ideas. I think this book would be terrific for a new teacher to read, though. It has a lot of tips that I would have liked to learn through a book rather than through trial and error.

This short book is easy to read and full of quick tips for beginning teachers. Each tip is just a short paragraph, which makes it easy to search for just what you want later. It's a perfect guide for someone who is transitioning into teaching, just coming out of college, or is teaching for the first time. (This would not be appropriate for teachers who've taught a year or two.) The book is geared toward the middle school and high school age - but could be adapted for younger students (some elementary examples are given). I highly recommend this book - especially if you need classroom management information fast!!

This book has many practical reminders for a teacher. I just flip through it at the beginning of each year to refresh myself on some of the little things I might not always be able to focus on in the hustle and bustle of teaching. Love it!
