Title: There are better books available for new teachers.
Product review: This book has some great ideas for teaching a class room and then it has some outdated material and ideas that should have been edited out of the book years ago. For example, "textbook recitation is an effective technique for teaching basic information simply because students are often motivated to read and study the assignment in anticipation of being called on to recite the information." What planet is this author from? There may be one out of a thousand students who would actually read in "anticipation" of being called on in class. There are better books available to new teachers like "Understanding by Design."
