Good resource, but not main tool
I bought this book for a class I was taking. Although the book is a very good resource for people that have not had a lot of education classes, it is a drag to read for those who have. The book tends to review a lot concepts that are common to the Elementary teacher. It also has a way of contradicting itself. The first chapter introduces the book saying that the textbook should never be the only tool a teacher uses in the classroom, but instead of offering alternatives for the teacher to use, or explaining how to use the book as just a tool, the book tends just to tell the best way to use the textbook. Its kind of like, don't use the textbook but this is how you use it.
