"Making Your First Year a Success: A Classroom Survival Guide for Middle and High School Teachers" is by Robert L. Wyatt III and J. Elaine White, both veteran teachers and professors. Many of their tips will help secondary teachers, particularly suggestions like standing at the door to greet students, displaying student work, and writing a behavioral objective on the board. But because innovations happen so fast, this book is already dated. There is no mention of Common Core Standards, and only five books in the Reference section were written in this century.You can read this entire review at San Diego Book Review
