Okay, but not great
(Doylestown, PA United States) April 29, 2003 - 3.0/5 stars

I ordered this along with Harry Wong's First Days of School as something to give my student teacher. I was not impressed with this book.

For $7, get Harry Wong's.
This book does contain some useful information, but it's an easy read, with really very little substance.

Much of the information is common sense (like what supplies to keep at your desk, or how to make friends with the office staff).

In most cases, this information is given out during student-teaching, college courses, or the district induction program.

It contains very little in terms of setting expectations, dealing with crises, organization, etc.

If you do choose to get this book, I hope it would be one of many you'd read.

	(Memphis, TN) June 7, 2001 - 3.0/5 stars
	This is very similar to "Your First Year as a High School Teacher." I think that the authors were trying too hard to make this a how-to book, when it should be regarded instead as a reference book.What I mean is,... read full review
