Highly Recommend to All Teachers
I would love to share this book with every teacher I know. It’s more valuable for teachers who have had some experience teaching and are having trouble with classroom management, but I would recommend it to all future teachers as well, even if they just want to skim through the book. It’s worth re-reading!

A Must-Have for all Educators!
This should be the bible for beginning teachers (or teachers who want to improve their instructional practice). The book is somewhat dated, but it contains solid information on how to start a school year, making it a valuable resource that should be in every educator's library.

Good Overview for Teaching
Beginner teachers as well as veteran teachers can learn something from this book. I found the advice on class seating/arrangements most helpful and interesting. There are some points that give too simplified of an explanation without nuance. For example, the short talk on not giving zeroes oversimplified research on this practice, and now administrators use the advice from this book to have a soft policy on student achievement with low expectations. Despite these problems, the book provides a good overview to be considered a recommended book.

Truly is the gold standard for educational instruction.
The content of this book is just pure gold. Slightly dated now in delivery and design, but so much quality. New teachers should absolutely read the entire book and seasoned teachers should refresh it in the summers.

A Great Read for Anyone Going into Teaching
This was a required book for a college class I took and I am glad the teacher had it as required reading. It is a must read for anyone that is nervous about entering the profession, is curious about teaching, or just needs some tips and tricks! (this book is full of them)

Could not watch DVD
The book arrived, but I cannot seem to play the DVD. I would have liked to do this. I wonder if it is a zone issue. So sad.
