Where was this book when I was actively teaching? October 8, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
A fellow teacher told me about Ms. Craig's book. After reading it, I thought this should be "required reading" for all college students studying to become educators. This is a book written by an educator for educators. She captures all the signs of abused and dysfunctional children in such clear terms, but the best part is she gives practical applications to help them. I think the hardest part of teaching is diagnosing why children have trouble learning and Ms. Craig couldn't be more on the money. An excellent and useful tool for teachers of all ages!
Practical advice for the classroom teacher September 29, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
As a teacher educator what I appreciate most about Susan Craig's book is how relevant and accessible it is to the classroom teacher. The practical advice it offers is wonderful - especially the "What You Can Do" text boxes. Thanks for writing such an important book for classroom teachers.
Important book for anyone concerned about education September 2, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Susan Craig has both sounded an alarm about the growing number of children exposed to violence and the problems they encounter in school while proposing classroom teaching approaches that can lead to more productive results for the individual students and the entire class. And she accomplishes this with little cant, plenty of solid research and a great deal of practical wisdom.
