Book Overview

Chronicles the ups-and-downs of two young, first-grade teachers in an urban public school. Through rich, detailed portraits, excerpts from teacher journals, student work, and lived memories and recollections, Daniel Meier shows that the heart of teaching and learning in our culturally diverse urban schools is tied to the overall quality of human interaction in the classroom.

Good book! Full of personal accounts.

I thought Meier's book was a good introduction into urabn elementary teaching especially if you're a beginning teacher or simply interested in education. It's not a handbook by any means, but Meier covers valid issues that come up through his experience as a 1st grade co-teacher that were insightful and helpful to me as a beginning teacher.

A glimpse into one urban elementary classroom

I did not know what to expect when I ordered this book but since I was about to start a job in a tough urban high school, I thought it couldn't hurt. What I got was a book that focused on one man's elementary classroom and his specific day to day experiences. This is a heartfelt, and well written account of those experiences that would be good reading for those interested in becoming an urban elementary teacher or understanding the unique challenges of this job. I would not recommend it however for those teaching high school or middle school since that is a whole different ball game!
