"Very interesting book for teachers. I will buy it when I get my own classroom again. I read it while I was subbing for a teacher and took pages of notes."
"Practical stuff of a more no-nonsense, conservative bent, but even for this liberal Rousseau-style teacher a lot of the points hit home. Jackson delineates seven principles that can turn you into a master teacher (though not overnight, trust me). Yes, there were a few holes and a few contradictions in her arguments, but overall it was an impressive kid- and learning-oriented display. The real treat is when she shares transcripts from presentations (on this very material) before teachers who shook their collective heads. We've all been THERE on Professional Development Days, no? At least Jackson, stopped her presentation and said, "OK, let's talk." And talk they did (much to our entertainment and edification). This would be a good book for all teachers, not just English teachers, because it goes to the very soul of why we teach and what we intend to accomplish. Sometimes the obvious is fuzzy (damn it)."
"Lots of great ideas about how to think smarter about teaching, and it even includes some concrete ideas for implementing these principles. Since I'm a new teacher who's just glad to have survived her first year, the book was overwhelming because there is SO much I need to improve on. After another year or two, I'll be able to think about this book a little more systematically."
