Book Reviews of Teaching Outside the Box: How to Grab Your Students By Their Brains
Book Review: The only teaching book you will need
Summary: 5 Stars
As a high school English teacher, I have read a lot of teaching books designed to help out with discipline, motivation and organization, but this book tops my list. It is unlike other "handbooks" in that it comes straight from the heart: the author`s passion for her students shows on every page and the advice and techniques she offers are down-to-earth and useful every day. It offers templates, which are great both for first year and seasoned teachers alike, and many more useful ideas to use in and out of the classroom. I have to say, during my first year of teaching, my desk and files contained mostly pages from this book!
Perhaps the biggest advantage of this book for me, however, was the feeling that it leaves you with - not all teachers still have the spark or passion for their students that they had on day one of their teacher`s training... this book helps to remind us how important it is to keep that passion every day while in the classroom.
