What about working with para-educators? You'll find it. Need to know about adapting materials for infants in the home? You'll find that too.This book is a must for the experienced and the inexperienced teacher, home visitor, early interventionist, teaching assistant, etc. I use it as a textbook with my graduate education classes and as a personal resource when working with children and families.

A superb resource for substitute teachers of classes grades K-5
Printed with a "lay-flat" binding for easy photocopying, The Substitute Teaching Survival Guide is a superb resource for substitute teachers of classes grades K-5. Featuring an array of emergency lesson plans for each grade and a wealth of practical advice from retired public school teacher John Dellinger, recipient of the Distinguished Teacher Award. Although The Substitute Teaching Survival Guide is especially meant for substitute teachers, regular teachers will find it useful particularly for its sample exercises and learning-based activities, should the class get ahead of its syllabus. Lessons cover such topics as US Presidents, basic math and money, weather, features of the human body, American history and landmarks, and much more. Highly recommended.

I am hooked on Gordon Crews
This book was so informative.I was studying school violence but after reading this book I immediately purchased "Chasing Shadows."Dr. Crews is so insightful with his writings that I became enthralled with juvenile violence.I look forward to reading more books by Gordon Crews.

Great Book!
This is a great book, because it gives the idea through five different topics. It also, gives ideas to help and protect not only in the school but also at home, in the neighborhood, and in the community. I was looking fora book about "School Violence," and this book help a lot. ... Read more

The definitive book on TESOL
This book is a wonderful compendium of information about teaching students whose native language is not English. It's good for people who are teachers and also for those who just want or need some background in this area. It tells the reader how language is acquired and how he or she can apply this knowledge to the classroom or individual student. It's reader-friendly and for those who need this information and don't have the formal educational background, this is perfect! ... Read more

excellent resource
I highly recommend this book for anyone who teaches singing- especially those who work with groups of inexperienced singers.Phillips goes a long way in demystifying singing technique and causes for singing problems as well as providing ideas for remediation in older inexperienced singers.The fact that Phillips approaches singing in a very objective manner makes singing an attainable skill for anyone who is willing to put in the physical work.The exercises in this book are intended for group use and when used consistently they really work!Many people ask me how I get my 4th and 5th grade boys to sing so willingly and I really think a lot of it has to do with the information that I have taken to my music classroom from this book.Some of the exercises may sound a little silly at first, but give it a try!

Overall approach to effective vocal production in youth.
This book explores the history behind American vocal training, describing how different attitudes towards school singing has affected the choral sound as we know it today.The author also effectively presents how singing is a psychomotor process, and one that is not always easily taught or learned.He reviews the vocal parameters of younger and developing voices, and explains the difficulty with the adolescent voice change (especially with boys). He also encourages teachers to express singing as a "sport", one that requires physical involvement of the body! The second half of the book is dedicated to 90 specific exercise methods for teachers to use in developing their choir.He has broken it into three age levels so that teachers anywhere within the grades 1-12 spectrum can use it effectively, or just use it to supplement a program they may already use and like.The exercises develop repiration, phonation, resonance, diction, and expression within choirs.Eighteen wonderful vocal exercises are explained for each of these areas.This would make an excellent reference book for any music teacher who is involved with teaching singing to any age level.The exercises are specific and help coordinate the students' overall approach to singing. ...

Great book!!!
I bought this book after leafing through it at a counseling fair and wasn't really sure what I was getting.When I had the opportunity to look closely at the book and activities I was really excited. If you subscribe to cognitive-behavioral theories and want a good book to address anger management issues with middle school (and possibly high school) students, this is the book for you. It has practical and creative activities that can be used in individual and group settings.I am a school counselor in an alternative middle school and these activities work with even the toughest kids.It is a wonderful resource and I highly recommend this book!! ...

Good book
This is a good book for those studying calculas or various business subjects. It is easily explained with a lot of examples.

An excellent resource
This is an excellent book for non-quant jockeys who want to brush up on their mathematical skills for upper-level or graduate-level econ courses.The best strength of the book is its organization.After a chapter on introduction and discussion of a mathematical technique or theory, a chapter on the technique's application is presented.This is an excellent way to not only reinforce the material but demonstrate its applications and relavence to economics.
The book is pathetic
Each question posed by the book is accompanied by a solution, which is a good thing, however, the solutions provided by the text include very few steps and little explanation. Furthermore, the questions in the text are way too simple. [...] ... Read more
