Title: This is not a recipe book!
Review: If you are looking for a poster of rules to duplicate and use, please look elsewhere.This book is about refining your own personal style, how to steal ideas from other teachers, and how to be the best possible teacher ever! No book can tell you what to do, and this one does not. It instead gives the reasons for you to teach well, and how to go about doing that. You must act on your own to create your materials and make your classroom function.I have found this book to be very inspiring, it does not talk down or denigrate the teaching profession. If you can't accept criticism, this isn't for you. If you feel that blue jeans and a t-shirt are always appropriate for teaching, look elsewhere. If you want to be a professional in a demanding profession, then try this one out. Read it with your collegues, check out the videotapes (your distric or COE probably has them.Enjoy!
