Customer Reviews
a nice supplement
I work for a teachers association. It seems that our new teachers aren't taught a lot about things like discipline or classroom organization in college. For those who think they might need a little extra help getting their classroom organized, I think that this book would make for a nice supplement.
The book details many helpful things:
1. Organizing your classroom based on the age of your students.
2. How to arrange desks, furniture, etc.
3. Making every bit of space in your classroom count.
4. Decorating, creating classroom displays, etc.
... and more.
The book is helpful without being condesending, and it has plenty of examples, tips and ideas. If you are not exactly the most organized teacher in the world, you might want to invest some time in this book.
Good for first year teacher
I liked this book, however I was looking for something that I hadn't thought of before. It is great for new teachers, but as a veteran teacher it really didn't offer me anything different.
