Excellent Book for Veterans and New TeachersJanuary 4, 2009 Shamus I loved Debbie's first book and found this new one to be just as thoughtful. Her friendly voice comes through as a reminder to all teachers that we need to stop and reflect on our beliefs and practices and be strategic about our teaching. I found her "Something to Try" section useful and it encouraged me to give thought to areas I may have not have believed needed changing or rethinking.I highly recommend it!
This Book Rocks!December 28, 2008 Cranston This book helped me set up my classroom, figure out what it was I truly believed in, and gave me the confidence to enact those beliefs in the classroom. I love Debbie Miller!
Good for new teachersDecember 27, 2008 Buddy I bought this book because I loved her other book. I was disappointed. This book is geared to new teachers. As a teacher of 13 years it didn't have any new that I haven't heard before in seminars or other books. If you know someone who is a first year teacher, it's perfect for them. Otherwise, save your money.
