This was a great book to begin my teaching endeavor in a 3rd world country. I was familiar with most of its methodology, but was grateful to have it all as one resource. All of the examples have been very useful and true in my circumsatnces here in Mongolia. Great lesson plan ideas, resource ideas, how to test and assess effectively, etc. I will definitely take this book back with me to the states and continue to use it in my classroom in America.
