The First Days of School

This is an incredible book! I wish I'd had it many years ago. One thing that was good is that it applies to Australian teachers, too, and isn't overly Americanised. I thoroughly recommend this book for all teachers. It's extrememly readable, very practical and down to earth.

Excellent book

The Classroom management section is an excellent one. It is great for an average school, but you will need more than that to survive at an Urban/inner city/low performing school.

The First Days Of School: How To Be An Effective Teacher

I have to agree with another reviewer; this is a very good book, IF you are working in elementary education.Several principals and superintendents recommend this book. If you are a classroom teacher and with the same group of kids all day, this is perfect. If, however, you work with older...

Excellent resource

This is a book that all new teachers should read. It especially helped me to be better prepared for dealing with the other teachers with whom I would have to work. I was just a student teacher when I ordered it, but my school district gives it out to all new teachers that they hire.

Harry Wong's The First Day of School

The BEST book for first year teachers and those in final semesters prior to becoming a teacher. I use parts of this book in my college class to inspire students to reach for their best in all aspects of their lives, but particularly in the classroom.

You Can't Go Wrong with Wong!

Statistics around the nation report that 30-50% of our new teachers are leaving the profession within their first five years! I firmly believe that if many of these teachers had taken the time to read and use this book by Harry Wong they'd still be teaching. I have taught for 23 years and have...

A Good Start

Perhaps the most important thing to notice about this book is its title, The FIRST Days of School. I think this book does a good job of giving inexperienced teachers some ideas about how to get off to a good start. As the authors write, "The first days of school can make or break you." Wong &...

More ideas

Wong and Wong is a great resource for all teachers, but it is true that it is intended more for the elementary classroom. If you are looking for a practical guide, especially for new teachers, read A Lesson Plan for Teachers, New and Old. It is a more practical approach to the real incidents...

There's some great stuff in this book

Harry Wong really has some stuff straight. I'm working towards my teaching license and am working in some different schools. Harry's techniques really work! I've seen the difference of teachers that use this and those who don't. Wow, what a difference! It's about gaining back your respect...
