The Power of Ten: A Teachers Guide to Creating a Productive Classroom and Beyond

The Power of 10 is preventative reading for teachers who don't want to say, "If I knew then what I know now..." and it's also conditioning reading for teachers already quoting that adage.

Written with the busy educator in mind, The Power of 10 is a reference guide for teachers and parents seeking effective strategies for managing student learning, especially in the classroom. There is no blueprint for teaching, and there certainly is no magic formula for running an effective classroom. However, there are materials and research-based practices that teachers and parents can incorporate to help guide students through the formal education years.

Life as a teacher would have been much easier had I known to blend this book's principles into my daily practices. In my years of classroom teaching experience working with hundreds of children, I have identified and organized in groups of 10 - from effective classroom practices and theorists to books, websites, and other resources that have helped me achieve promising results. To be successful in the education profession, educators must first learn to manage effectively the one thing within their control - the learning environment. The Power of 10 will equip educators to gain and maintain control of their classrooms as well as their professional careers.
