| Professional Review: |
| In this funny and insightful book, Gary Rubinstein relives his own truly disastrous first year of teaching. He begins his teaching career armed only with idealism and romantic visions of teaching - and absolutely no classroom management skills. By his fourth year, however, he is named his school's "Teacher of the Year." As Rubinstein details his transformation from incompetent to successful teacher, he shows what works and what doesn't work when managing a classroom. |

 Written on February 28, 2007 Summary: Is your class running all over you? I got this book, because I was having trouble controlling the kids in my Sunday school class. It gives some good common sense approaches to classroom behavior and it gives you insight into the authors struggle to become a good disciplinarian. If you are in a teaching role with kids and started out wanting to make things fun and interesting, but feel like you have lost control, this book will help. Written on January 9, 2007 Summary: Must read for first time teachers Takes the scary out of student teaching. Fun and easy to read with lots of great ideas and advice. Written on November 6, 2006 Summary: Great book on classroom management! This book is one of the few I've seen that is specifically targeted at middle school teachers and their unique classroom management challenges. I bought this book because the author is, like me, a middle school math teacher, but his suggestions are good for any secondary teacher. His suggestions are concrete, and practical - even in a school without ideal students or ideal administrators. Rather than vague suggestions like, "Have a positive attitude," this book talks about specific situations that are likely to arise and how to handle them. Buy this book! Written on August 3, 2006 Summary: Therapeutic and Entertaining Rubinstein may hope that first year teachers will read his book and not make the mistakes he made, but chances are the readers who pick up his book already have completed their first year. While this book does not give an encyclopedic array of tips like the "First Days of School", it is a funny and reflective treatise on classic first teacher mistakes. I used it as part of my summer "therapy" after a disasterous first year -- it helped me get over being a complete failure and start thinking about how I was going to approach my second year. Written on August 2, 2006 Summary: A MUST for new or struggling inner-city secondary teachers The other books on the subject (and I've read the top seven or so) are all too theoretical, dense, boring, and advocate techniques that simply don't work in an out-of-control secondary class. "First Days of School" is one of the few books that is decent in terms of practicality and readability. However, it is too elementary-focused for secondary teachers. Also, it advocates a standard pattern of incremental steps (writing names on the board with checks and so on). As Rubinstein points out - relying on this type of pattern of incremental discipline in an out-of-control classroom is like trying to slay a dragon with a fly swatter. This author also sets himself apart from the competition by focusing on how appearance and techniques lead you to be respected as a "Real Teacher." Let's say you are (like me), the instructor for a graduate course for new teachers. If you assign this book, "Assertive Discipline," and "Discipline with Dignity," I guarantee you that the only one most of the new teachers will actually finish reading is "Reluctant Disciplinarian." |
