Great Resource

I bought a copy of this book after my student teaching and wish I had it before I went into the classroom. It has some great ideas that I'm definately going to use in the classroom in the future. If you're a new teacher, get this book and be happy that you did - it's going to make your classroom more interesting and provide you with a wealth of different strategies to reach your students.
