 Organize your physical and instructional environments January 13, 2008

I checked this book out from the library as one of several books I am reviewing for assistance in getting ready to return to teaching. I was a VERY new teacher when I took time off, so I am still looking for a lot of organizational help, but I also have some classroom experience.
For a compulsively organized person, the first half of the book provides dozens of excellent organizational tips. Most of them are not earth-shattering, but that is part of its usefulness--basic, often overlooked, tips and tools are covered in a very succinct way.
The second part of the book covers organizing instruction, de Bono's Thinking Hats (which was entirely new to me), working with special needs students and working with parents.
If not a must have, this book is at least a must read for all instructors who don't feel like organizational experts already!

I read this book as part of a teacher-research project for the Graduate School of Education at George Mason University. The titleof the project was "The Classroom Setting." I found this short, easy-to-read book very helpful. Hundreds of practical ideas are described; many make you wonder why you didn't think of them years ago. Good diagrams and pictures make the text even more relevant. More ideas could have been added, though. Again, it is quite short. Yet, for a teacher concerned with classroom arrangement and design, it is excellent.
