This book is a must have for both the beginning teacher and the veterans. There are thousands of hands-on practical ideas that you can use tomorrow to reach all the students in your classroom. Some of the catagories range from English language learners, gifted, ADHD, to communication disorders. The best part of this book is that is all in one place. I wish someone would have given this book to me when I was a student teacher or beginning teacher.
