Basic knowledge for a first year teacher
| Customer Rating:  | | Good information for first year teachers, but if you have taught for a while it is definitely just a review of everything that you already have experienced and know. |
Cartoons are great
| Customer Rating: | | The cartoons are great in this handy book on discipline and instruction. There are many useful strategies and it is reader friendly. When I read some of the stories, I burst out laughing. It is informative while being entertaining. |

Some Good, Some Bad
| Customer Rating: | I bought this book to try and gain control of my classroom. I was brought in shortly after the school year started and have faced many challenges since then. This book has offered some wonderful ideas that I will most likely use next year, but it does not address how to put these things into place after the school year has started. I have been figuring that out on my own.
The behavior section is very helpful as it offers great ideas on how to address behavior as it happens.
Overall, this book is well written and organized. It has been helpful, but I wish it had more on how to implement after the year has begun. |
The attached DVD is useless
| Customer Rating: |
I've recently bought the latest edition of this book, because I also wanted the attached DVD, which didn't come with the first edition.
I was very disappointed to find that the DVD you get with this book is just a cheap infomercial for some other book or DVD set that Fred Jones has produced. It was really useless. You might as well throw the DVD into the trash.
Save yourself a few bucks. Buy a used copy of the first edition.
