"Good suggestions for new and experienced teachers"
Written By: J. Kovacevich
Two weeks in to my 8th year of teaching, and I am using many ideas from this book. It really helps set a positive tone and reminds the teacher to spend the first few weeks modeling desired outcomes with the help from the students. Although I am not folowing it to a tee, the book is set up with down to the minute lessons plans, which could really be a bonus for a new teacher. I think this book would be helpful for both a new and experienced teacher!
"A true winner"
Written By: Deborah Bianco
This book gives valuable detail to ensure that your school year gets off to a great start. It covers songs, games, rules and procedures to be used during the first six weeks of school. It is the best of many books I've read. I highly recommend this one!
"Very detailed plan for the first six weeks of school"
Written By: N. Hoff
This book provides exactly what it says it will. It gives you a week-by-week schedule for all elementary grade levels and the rationale behind doing each thing. This would be really helpful to have before the first week of your first year teaching.

IT IS AMAZING! It is explained clearly through out and the student's adaption to the concepts is simply wonderful to watch.
"Great for First Year Educators!"
Written By: A. Willis
I began using Morning Meeting [ASIN:1892989093 The Morning Meeting Book (Strategies for Teachers, 1)] as a part of my teacher education program last year and found it to be a great benefit for encouraging positive social interactions between my elementary students. This year, I began following and implementing The First Six Weeks of School's suggestions and my students LOVE it! They enjoy greeting each other, sharing and doing the activities. I have likewise seen a decrease in the amount of behavioral issues within my classroom. The program will work with your own ideas of discipline, rules and expectations and I have found it to be invaluable as I begin my teaching career. I would recommend The First Six Weeks of School to any teacher (new or experienced) who wants to encourage a positive, socially interactive classroom experience for their students.
