I read this book in preparation for a 'What great teachers do differently' conference in Little Rock, Arkansas. I throughly enjoyed Mr. Whitaker's view on a variety of different educational issues, and I really like the way he makes the reader feel, as if he were reading your mind. It was humorous and I was constantly saying in my mind 'I know, I know!' Overall, it really made me think of what I could be doing differently in my classroom to better my students and myself.

This was a big stinker. I had to read this book for a class I am taking. There is nothing new in this text that has not already been rehashed for the past 25 years about teaching.

Yuck! I had to read this for work; they assign us a book every year. Mostly common sense stuff although I admit I was much relieved that this book admitted that teachers were human instead of Gods put upon the earth to make a difference in the lives of each and every child (I believe teaching is an important job, but a lot of books idealize everything about teaching and therefore are useless when it comes to applying to what goes on in real life). It was also blessingly short.

While this book isn't presenting any "Earth-shattering" insight into what makes a great teacher, the specifics and the examples are relevant and applicable for even the novice teacher.
As an administrator, it's a nice "refresher" book to read before beginning those classroom observations and conversations with faculty about the things that assist in classroom success beyond command of their subject matter.

This book was an easy read! It is an excellent book for new teachers or teachers that want to increase their effectiveness. The book provides simple ideas on building relationships and improving student motivation.
