Readers' Reviews - The Fundamental 5

Two LYSers submitted to following comments:

1. SC, Just wanted to let you know that I read the book from cover to cover. Then I read it again. Of all of the "How to Teach Better" books, yours is the most accessible. In the on-going debate of are great teachers born or made - you and Laird make a great case for building great teachers. I have already recommended the book to three other principals.

2. We have all heard the old cliché that the issue isn't discipline, it's instruction. And I always roll my eyes because the person saying that inevitably taught in an easier setting than the one I'm in. But now I can see it. I see what I have always done in my class versus the Fundamental Five practices and why my practice has caused some of the discipline issues. Time to try something new this year. Thank you.

SC Response

Thanks for the great comments. The response to the book has been beyond what either of us ever imagined. It seems to have struck a cord with cord with teachers and administrators. We are just happy people believe that reading it was worth the time investment. And again, thanks you to everyone who has bought a copy and an extra big thank you to the over 60 campuses who have selected our little book for their fall book study.

Think. Work. Achieve.

Your turn...
