2.0 out of 5 stars No real substance, Jun 24 2004

"terriette" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A First-Year Teacher's Guidebook: An Educational Recipe Book for Success (Paperback)

I found the book to be full of surface level, common-sense platitudes that didn't really give me much more advice than I'd gotten from my college courses. I was looking for a book that would give me more substantial help in starting my first classroom (examples of classroom setup, reproducibles for classroom organization, etc.). This book did not fill my needs.
In addition, the book is written specifically for elementary teachers, although there is the occasional nod to those teaching sixth grade. As a middle school teacher, much of the advice within was not very applicable.

1.0 out of 5 stars they teach all this in college, Jun 6 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: A First-Year Teacher's Guidebook: An Educational Recipe Book for Success (Paperback)

I didn't see anything in this book that was not covered in my college courses. I felt like the author assumed I knew nothing, and it felt like she was speaking down to me. I wish I had never bought this book because now I have to deal with the hassle of returning it.
