This book will revolutionize my management methods."
"This book proves you can teach an old dog new tricks. I have been teaching for 16 years, yet the students and classroom settings are changing, and new issues constantly surface. An effective teacher must recognize this and find ways to adapt. (This book) offers insights into a number of current educational issues such as safe Internet practices, standardized testing, and increased parental involvement. New teachers will find it to be indispensable!"
"This book can help take place of an actual mentor teacher, especially since so many primary schools don't have funding for these positions anymore...it covers more practical information than I've seen compiled anywhere else."
"Suited to all educators and a great reference no matter how long you have taught."
"This book addresses some very difficult subjects for inexperienced teachers. It is written in a clear, clean, and concise format which new and busy teachers could use in piecemeal segments as they progress through the year."
"I believe that this book will be read by many, and should be used in college education classes to better prepare student teachers for classroom management challenges."
"I believe the authors provide an important service to new teachers by addressing several topics that usually aren't mentioned in teacher resource materials, such as helping parents teach children safe internet practices, dealing with personal hygeine issues, and integrating into school culture."
Praise for the First Edition: "Wow! What a book! What a joy to read! Applying as many of these strategies as possible to your classroom management plan will result in a much easier and more successful year."
