New Press, 2008

Lies That My Teacher Told Me
I recently completed the Introduction to Sociology; and my professor suggested this book. Because I respected his way of teaching, I took his advice and bought the book. This book is indeed a treasure. There is probably no discipline more important than history; because everything and everyone has a history. A doctor can't properly treat you without knowing your medical history. To ...

What Great Teachers Do Differently: Fourteen Things That Matter Most

Eye on Education,, 2003

Eye opener
I have a new found respect for teachers. I read this book for research purposes. I grew up with undiagnosed ADD and I made it all the way to the tenth grade rarely passing a class. To this day I do not know why or how I made it so far with such low grades. I have often wondered why teachers didn't care and how I got by. I have inattentive ADD, meaning I am not hyperactive in the physical sense. ...

Our Moral Muddle
Do teachers have the right to express their opinions to their students? Should sports coaches have the right to impress their religious beliefs upon their athletes? Do parents have the right to say who their children have the right to pray with? Should parents stay married because it's easier for their kids if they do? These are just some of the complex moral questions embedded in Tom ...

An Educator's Review
I had the honor to see Ms. Connors speak at a teacher conference this past week. I was feeling a bit jaded over the profession of teaching after completing my second year of teaching and after completing a research study proposal on the sad state of teacher retention due to low administrative support. I was at an oh-too-typical low point... Ms. Connors' words (both in spoken and written ...

Louis Fischer, David Schimmel, ...

Allyn & Bacon, 2006

A Must Read for Teachers
Case law, unless done perhaps by the likes of John Grissam, is not page turning material. However, the authors have done an incredible job of putting very pressing and often complex areas into an accessible and engaging book. Written in an easy to use question and answer format, the updated book touches on education legal issues ranging from free speech, to students with disabilities, to ...

Teaching is harder than it looks.

The study looked at how good teachers prepare, what they ...

Teacher Man: A Memoir

Frank McCourt

Scribner, 2005

Climbing the ladder of success, trailing a lifetime's baggage
An admitted late bloomer, Frank McCourt more than makes up for his tardiness with "Teacher Man," the third installment (after "Angela's Ashes" and "'Tis") of his life story. In the years between his miserable childhood in Ireland and his late-in-life success as a writer, McCourt spent thirty years teaching in New York City's high schools and community colleges. "Teacher Man" shows McCourt as he ...

wow
Wow. I bought this book for myself, knowing that it might be helpful as a college supervisor of teachers. I started earmarking important pages and soon found that I was marking each page, so I just bought copies for all my students. I find this book more useful that Wong's first year teaching book, but that's great also.

McGraw-Hill, 2006

Great Resource!
I bought this book last year while working on a unit plan for my student teaching. I really needed some creative new ideas for teaching literature and I found some really awesome activities! Although this book is recommended for grades k-6, most of the activities are easily adaptable up to grade 8 or higher. I taught two of these lessons with eighth graders last year and they loved them! It is ...

Great book BUT don't make the same mistake I did...
This is one of the most helpful texts that I have purchased in the past year. It is easy to read and gives lots of examples as well as many points to ponder. HOWEVER, (if it matters to you)- make sure that you do not get the BOOK ALONE version. There is an online component that you need an access code to, which doesn't come with the book unless you buy the other version (I believe it said ...

For learning about ABA and relating to school you cannot beat this book...
My title states it all. The 7th edition trumps the phenomenal 6th edition in it's inclusion of IDEA 2004/NCLB concepts. It is well worth the price difference between this book and most ABA books.
