It's an excellent beginning teacher's guide that's highly recommended for anyone venturing into the classroom for the first time."(The Bookwatch, October 2007 2007-11-07)"Well-organized and easy to use, this handbook is filled with practical ideas covering such topics as classroom environment and management, best practices, assessment, communication, and becoming a lifelong learner.
