This book is truly accessible to all readers. It takes you through a workshop of sorts where you hone your skills and create lasting practices for effective student learning experiences."
—Gabriella Meyers, Educator "The most difficult skill my student teachers struggle to master in their very short internship is classroom management. And without it, none of the other wonderful things that they've been waiting to try as teachers are ever entirely successful. Evanski’s book is exactly what I've been looking for. In easy-to-understand steps and language, he provides workable solutions to the common management experiences of every classroom teacher. I wish that I had been able to have this book in my hands 43 years ago. It would have saved me years of trial and error!"
