Customer Reviews

A must read even for the SUBSTITUTE!

This book is a must have for every teacher, be they the regular classroom teacher or the substitute, to have in her/his tool box.

Seven Simple Secrets

An excellent book for beginning teachers. As I'm finding out, much of the work of being a successful teacher happens before the students ever enter the classroom. This book is short, sweet and chock full of wisdom for making that success happen.

Must have for teachers!

This book is a must read. Coming from a new teacher, this has helped dramatically. I recommend this to all of my fellow teachers, new and experienced. The chapters are very straight to the point and leave nothing out. Definitely a must read and then share =)
