(More customer reviews)Here's some quick financial advice: Find all the classroom management books you have on your shelf, your books on the "first year teaching experience," your "teaching like the experts" tracks and sell them right away. Then, when you've collected what you can, rush out and buy this wonderful primer. Page makes good on her promise (embedded in her subtitle "6 Simple Steps to Preventing Disorder, Disruption and General Mayhem") and provides for the reader, whether new to the field or an old hand like me, simple, direct, and highly effective strategies for teachers to use in their classrooms.
I can't say enough about how good this book is and how much happier I would have been had I read it before my career began many moons ago. Nevertheless, there is much to recommend here to the journeyman as well. Perhaps most notably, Page never condescends to the reader, eschews gimmicks and the hackneyed exhortations about the importance of rewarding and punishing students, and offers, instead, commonsense, but powerful approaches to helping students act in civil, responsible ways. Her prose is clear and direct and the strategies she presents are wonderfully illustrated by interesting and engaging anecdotes which, unlike most education books, are authentic, often dramatic, and clearly drawn from the author's rich career as a teacher and a teacher educator.
Young or old(er), every teacher really ought to have this book on her shelf. Do yourself a favor and buy it today.
