After hearing the wonderful successes of Rafe Esquith, I knew I had to read his book...and after reading it, feel every teacher should do the same. From his classroom rules, Work Hard and Be Kind", to his belief that every child can be a success, the book is full of practical, child-centered strategies each classroom should follow. Our kids deserve to find their classroom as a safe haven, a place of encouragement, a room with high expectations and a climate where success is celebrated by each child. Rafe can help a good teacher become an excellent one with his ideas and easy to read book!
This book is the most amazing book I have ever read. It is no wonder Rafe has received so many awards. He and his Hobart Shakespeareans have a lot to teach the world. As an aspiring teacher I highly recommend this book. He gives great advice as a seasoned teacher and provides wonderful games and information that can be adapted to any classroom setting. Simply outstanding.
This book helped keep me in the education major this last semester. With so much BS on the outside, it's nice to relate with a male teacher on the inside. Rafe is the man and gives good advice for beginning teachers. He shares little ditties that have worked for him as well as personal insights on what teaching should be. He is creative, carrying, and honest. Wish I could have been a fly on Room 56's wall.
Great inspirational read for any teacher of grades K - 12. I have used some of the author's teaching techniques and they worked for me. It was great reading this book because it is from an experienced teacher's point of view. I had many aha moments. This book will be shared with the teachers at the school I work at for inspirational/professional reading.
