Reviews

[Alondra · Rating 4 out of 5]

A solid resource with citations throughout for more thorough answers and context. My only push would be that I was looking for more of an equitable and inclusive lens. There are a few pages on windows and mirrors and a few small boxes that briefly touch on a DEI focus, but I wish this mindset and focus was present throughout the book, given the title's fairly recent publication date.

This was very practical and useful advice. I’ve been teaching since 1994, so some of the information I already knew but there was so much available that I plan on using this coming school year. I have sticky notes all over the book. Hopefully I remember all of their great ideas.

Useful advice for new teachers and many good tips, grounded in good pedagogy, for seasoned teachers.

This was quick. Lots of good ideas and advice. I particularly liked the last chapter.
