Book

This is a wonderful book. One of the teachers on my job told us that we should purchase this book because it could really help us. Everything is differentiating today in the classroom. So this book is a great help for teachers. I recommend all teachers get it. I received my book so fast.

A Must Have for all Teachers!

Laura Robb's book is a tremendous and indispensable tool in the classroom. Robb gives clear examples and personal experiences from real classrooms of how differentiation (teaching different students at different levels using a variety of reading material and assignments)can and must be considered first and foremost as teachers develop and implement lessons. Robb's passion for teaching shines in this book as she describes her teaching adventures. As found on page 66 of the book, Robb writes, as a student connects to the lesson, "Wow! I thought to myself and mentally waltzed around the room. Yes, these students got it!" This inspirational writing generates excitement for all teachers and creates the desire to go into the classroom and try it out for themselves so they too may "waltz" through their classrooms engaging each and every one of their students!
