 Great Read for Teachers and Substitutes April 28, 2008
Being a brand new substitute teacher, I found this book very helpful. I spent 32 years of employment in a corporation. Then when I retired, I decided I wanted to work with children in some way. So I decided to substitute teach. Still I worried, will I do ok? Will I fail as a substitute teacher? This book helped me in so many ways. It has been so helpful and is a great read for both teachers and substitutes. The book is geared more so for teachers and substitutes in elementary or kindergarten classes, in my opinion.
 Harry Wong April 24, 2008
This text was recommended to me by other seasoned teachers. I'm a first year teacher and found the amount of text to be a bit overwhelming, especially trying to plan for a new schoolyear. There are some valid ideas- and his videos are good. I also downloaded the CD to my MP3 player and listened to his talks while I was driving to school. The book is helpful- but may take a bit of time to get through.
Tool for Every Teacher April 14, 2008
This was a required book for a classroom management class. It turned out to be a GREAT addition to my 'toolbox'. I've used it on many occassions. It is not a book to read straight through, rather, you read what you need. Novel idea. Dr. Wong knowst the classroom and how to make the classroom experience best for both the student and the teacher.
Great gift for that new teacher on your Christmas list.
 Skim it at the book store and that'll be enough April 11, 2008

I have heard Harry Wong speak at a conference and was blown away. He spoke for three hours in front of thousands of teachers and kept us all engaged and laughing for the entire three hours. He is definitely a gifted speaker with a wealth of knowledge about teaching. But I must say his book was far less interesting. I was reluctant about this book at first as I was already an experienced teacher but it came so highly recommended that I thought I'd give it a chance. There are some good tips about teaching but there are too many redundant sidebars and footnotes. There are topics that could've been covered with a paragraph which Harry Wong goes on for an entire chapter. The lay out of the book looks colorful and busy but for reading and learning about effecting teaching - not so effective. I would not recommend this to beginning teachers or experienced teachers.
WOW! April 6, 2008

I've taught in a school for six years and this is the BEST teaching book I've ever read. It doesn't matter if you've taught for 20 years or if it's your first year. This book is for you! :-)
