Breaux, an author and speaker on education, and Whitaker (educational leadership, Indiana State U.) present new and experienced teachers with 180 easy-to-implement strategies for each day of the school year to improve teaching and learning. The strategies relate to making a first impression, classroom management, planning, mistakes, student surveys, heroes, behavior, goals, appearance, being positive, working with administrators, homework, stress, attitude, and dealing with students who struggle or lose control, among many others. Every 20 days they provide a short assessment for what has worked and why and what to carry forward into daily teaching. There is no index.
