- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The book contained lots of great and practical advice, even for a third year teacher!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely fantastic reference for first-year teachers and any teachers at any time. I’ve been teaching for seven years, but last year was my first year of teaching high school. I really wish I’d listened to that book before I started teaching my first year of high school. They hit on all the trade secrets! Listen and take notes!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is amazing. Every teacher would benefit from reading this book, not only fist year teachers.
