This book is amazing. Wish I had had it last year. A must for new teachers or those of us a few years in who need some reminders after our summers out of the classroom. The checklist are going to be reused by me that's fir sure.

The additional material is in serious need of updating, but the book is a great quick reference for many issues from classroom management to professional development.
