“I would love this book if I were a new teacher. It has all the essentials for effective teaching, and it works through them methodically. As a seasoned teacher, I knew most things, but I found it a great refresher, a nice, condensed version of teaching life that I can use as a go-to when I am in a slump or crunched for time.”

We simply cannot do our jobs well without the knowledge found in these pages. Thank you Dr. Zolkoski for providing practical steps for accomplishing this work!”
