Rating: - Question: applicable to high school teachers?
I just wanted to ask whether people think this book would be helpful to teachers at the secondary level. I mostly teach language arts for kids with mild to moderate learning and behavioral impairments.
I want to improve in the ways I managing planning, grading and classroom behavior.
Thanks!
(I had to add stars in order to post, apparently, but as I've never read this book obviously they don't mean anything!)
Rating: - Must have for new teachers!
I am going into my 2nd year of teaching and have found this book to be immensely helpful. I taught a split grade my first year and struggled with organizing all of the curriculum information and keeping my plan book organized in a way that helped keep me on track for the year.
This book by Shoshana Wolfe is awesome for getting organized. She shares her own story of these strategies helping her as she had to move her class multiple times after 9/11. From setting up a year-long curriculum ... Read More
Rating: - a great guide for creating a child-centered classroom!

As a teacher in an integrated classroom, I have found this guide ... Read More
Rating: - A helpful planning tool!

I've been teaching for 7 years, and recently borrowed this book from a colleague, and learned many new tricks, like how to re-think my classroom setup and how to keep an eye on ... Read More
Rating: - Clear and effective
This book takes all the great ideas for teaching kids to be independent in the classroom and puts them together in one place. After teaching middle school for 7 years, there are things in here that I have done, and things I wish I'd thought about sooner. It gives you plenty to think about and many ways to enter into the process of streamlining the routines in your classroom making it a better place for both student and teacher.
