| 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 October 27, 2007 Summary: discipline Very good reference about a teacher's dilemma in handling class discipline. Portrays the difficulties of a new teacher handling his first teaching assignment, his adjustment, and success with the students. Written on September 9, 2007 Summary: Excellent and realistic I had gotten this book as a Good Luck present for my boyfriend, who just got his first teaching job. He admits that he has had trouble with classroom management and other books he had gotten were unrealistic. This book, he believes because the author found himself in a unique situation in his education career, is different because they present real problems with real solutions (and fun little sidebars too!). I flipped through the book briefly and I saw that there were case-scenarios. He said that he actually finds real situations that he has encountered and he learns a lot by comparing what he did to what the author did. I strongly recommend this book to anyone starting in teaching, as well as a great gift to young teachers!!  Written on September 8, 2007 Summary: Good if you're middle school and up. This book is better suited for middle school teachers and beyond. As an early childhood teacher, I did not get as much out of the book as I had hoped. Written on September 7, 2007 Summary: Kinda disappointed I bought this book because I too am a softie disciplinarian. See, I'm not exactly trained in the areas I'm teaching, thus my classroom management skills for the subjects I am teaching are kinda... undesirable. So I bought this book hoping for suggestions as to how to improve, and while this book was very humorous and entertaining, I also saw how much I am not a softie. This guy was really bad. I also don't agree with the whole not smiling thing. That is not a part of my personality, thus the kids would see right through me and it would still create problems, not solve them. I didn't really get any good ideas as to how to improve. I would have been better served checking this book out at the library and reading it just for some positive thinking about my own teaching methods. I like the book, but it wasn't what I expected.  Written on August 26, 2007 Summary: An unnecessary read There's not enough in this book to warrant purchasing and/or reading it. A large proportion of the work contains the author's introduction of himself (not applicable in the classroom) and then he espouses what not to do (equally not applicable because the information is not immediately countered by what a teacher should do). What a teacher should do for discipline problems, the author explains, comes down to deciding what kind of teacher you want to be. He provides 5 examples of different "types" of teachers (overly generalized, although amusing, and mostly unrealistic). The only value in this book emerges in the last 10 pages when the author's colleagues share their brief insights to quick classroom management problems. |
