Rating: 3 / 5
The book features rule after rule that a teacher is supposed to follow during the first days of teaching. I don’t see how a veteran teacher could remember half of these rules, and as a beginning teacher, I am overwhelmed by the immense rules that are listed in each chapter. There has to be a better way to be an effective teacher.

I agree with the other reviewers who wondered what all of the hype over this book is about. I thought that I had to have this book because other people have said that it is a great book for first year teachers. I was mistaken. It came with a DVD, which I thought would be great. The DVD was a recording of a conference that a secondary teacher gave about the First Days of School. My DVD started skipping about half way through, and then completely stopped working. I’m not too concerned about it because I don’t think I’m missing much from not viewing the whole DVD. I didn’t really learn anything new from this DVD or book that I didn’t learn from basic Classroom Management coursework in school. I really enjoyed The First Year Teacher’s Survival Guide and Working with Students.

Rating: 5 / 5
Anyone who majors in education wants to be an effective teacher. This book will definately teach you how to do that. It will annoy you, may you laugh and cry but in the end it will teach you. If you aren’t effective after reading this book and implementing the information, then you might want to consider a different profession. Remember, an effective teacher can bring a remedial student AHEAD one year or push them BACK three years.
