This is the book I always turn to when beginning a new teaching position. And since (WooHoo!) I was recently hired to teach 7th & 8th grade Language Arts � grammar and writing � at a local junior high, it was time to pull this book off of the shelve and peruse once again.\nSide Note: It is also one of the very few �reading through my bookshelves in 2010� books that I�ve read recently. I�m not doing real great on that goal.\nThis book is chock-full of both pedagogy and practicality. I made pages and pages of things to do, procedures to put in place, and questions I need answers to. Now I just have to put all of that to good use so that I�m ready for the start of school in less than a month.\nThe Wongs also discuss the �why� behind what they recommend doing.\nGreat book for beginning teachers, teachers who are moving to a different position, or veteran teachers who just want to improve their effectiveness.\n
