Customer Reviews

Satisfied buyer

I purchased this textbook new at a good price. I received free shipping and the book arrived sooner than I expected. This is a great book for anyone who is currently in, or entering the education field. It has lots of helpful information. I am very pleased with the way the information is presented.

This book helped learn about myself and about my teaching ability

For me, the most helpful part about this book is the chapter that has you audio tape a 20 minute teaching session. It gives you a step-by-step guide on what to analyze and suggestions for improvement. For example, I always thought I was a positive, upbeat person, but when I had to count how many positive statements I made to the students, they were surprisingly low. Also, I didn't even use their names! This book gave me several more realizations about my teaching (more than most educational books I've read), which I believe has been invaluable for me on my journey to growing as a teacher AND a person. I also took Dr. Freiburg's class at the University of Houston, and I really enjoyed it and would recommend his book and class to anyone.

Easy to read, effective, and invaluable to ALL teachers

This book is an excellent guide for not only teachers of all subject areas but is an invaluable guide for parents that are concerned with educational lingo. The book is easy to read due to chapter layouts; pointing out critical attributes that make education effective in a logical manner. Parents can read/learn strategies that will help their children (of all ages).
