When I graduated from Plymouth State University about
twelve years ago, I was hired in their Child Development and Family Center to
finish out the normal school year. I was
an assistant to one of the teachers I had completed most of my practicum hours
with. Weeks later the normal school year
ended and I was getting ready to go back home.
Before I left the teacher gave me the book The First Days of School: How to Be an Effective Teacher. There have been new editions since I received
mine but I still have it and flip through it every once and a while.
The First Days of School: How to Be an Effective
Teacher
by Harry K. Wong and Rosemary T. Wong.
“Over 3.8 million
copies have been sold of the preeminent book on classroom management and
teaching for lesson achievement. The book walks a teacher, either novice
or veteran, through the most effective ways to begin a school year and continue
to become an effective teacher. This is the most basic book on how to
teach. The book is used in thousands of school districts, in over 116
countries, and in over 2,026 college classrooms. It’s inspiring and it
works.” https://www.effectiveteaching.com/products.php?product=The-First-Days-of-School
I absolutely forgot how valuable the book The First Days of School was to me after I read it. Thanks for the reminder. I actually went into my storage and pulled it out of a box to take to work tomorrow to share with my co-workers.
