Summary: First-Rate Book; From a First Year Teacher
Comment: A great book that covers many of the issues relevant to first year teachers. I found the reproducibles practical and plan on readily using them. I especially liked the way this book covered K-8 instruction. At times they give specific details for middle school teachers which was very helpful for me. Their getting started chapter was very good, but time-intensive. Realistically, some things would have to be cut-out. Their discipline chapter was excellent in providing concrete examples, suggestions, and more reproducibles. I don't know how you can possibly do all of the things for parents in the "How to Involve Parents" chapter, but this would be a definite resource to go to when you would like to improve on parental relationships. The engaging students chapter was good, many of these skills can be observed on an expert teacher and only take time to develop. However, these are great hints to some colleagues. Developing community and teaching social skills were two excellent chapters that every teacher should read. If we had more classrooms fitting these ideals, we would produce better citizens. Bravo to Canter! Lastly, I enjoyed the last chapter on enhancing professional and personal growth. The most reassuring part of the book, for me, was the "De-stress for Success" section. I plan to implement all of their "de-stressing" ideas and was relieved to feel that I was not the only one in that position. An excellent read for a first year teacher AND many veteran teachers.

Summary: Practical application of skills using easy to follow guides.
Comment: This book is filled with practical ideas and strategies for new (and veteran) teachers. Easy to use forms can serve as guides as the new teaccher works through experiences (such as phone calls to parents, or discipline problems) for the first time. In addition, these forms can then be used for documentation of attempted strategies and results for future reference and reflection.
