First year teachers need to throw out everything they learned in college and buy this book! It has all of the unwritten rules that all teachers must learn before working with students, parents, and colleagues. -- Tammi Bender, Ed.S. in Educational Leadership, M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction, Principal
What a wonderful resource for both new and experienced teachers. Some of these could be used as discussion points at staff meetings. The book is easy to read, but contains many important reminders for all educators. -- Sally Maher, MA in Reading, Special Education Teacher and College Instructor
