Clear and effective5
This book takes all the great ideas for teaching kids to be independent in the classroom and puts them together in one place. After teaching middle school for 7 years, there are things in here that I have done, and things I wish I'd thought about sooner. It gives you plenty to think about and many ways to enter into the process of streamlining the routines in your classroom making it a better place for both student and teacher.

Just what I needed!5
As teachers we are always searching for ways to make our classrooms more efficient & effective. I love the ideas in this book. My favorite part is the way the author creates systems that teach kids to be independent and active learners & organizers! This book is great for new teachers but also provides a new twist for those of us who have been teaching for many years.

Must have for new teachers!5
I am going into my 2nd year of teaching and have found this book to be immensely helpful. I taught a split grade my first year and struggled with organizing all of the curriculum information and keeping my plan book organized in a way that helped keep me on track for the year.

This book by Shoshana Wolfe is awesome for getting organized. She shares her own story of these strategies helping her as she had to move her class multiple times after 9/11. From setting up a year-long curriculum goal sheet for each subject area, to planning monthly calendars to serve as the foundation for all planning and teaching, to the artifact binders and homework notebooks, this book is packed with refreshing ideas that new and veteran teachers alike can benefit from.

I am so glad I purchased this book. I will definitely be using a lot of these strategies this year with my new class.
