Customer Reviews

I have had this book for 4 years and still use it

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!

Great stuff for first year teachers

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.

Simple but Eloquent

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.

Excellent!

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.

Every teacher's bible!

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!
