The English Language Arts Handbook: Classroom Strategies for Teachers

This book is a necessity for teachers who want great ideas on how to get their students interested. There are strategies for getting resistant students into the mainstrean and functioning. It gives the teacher a guide with steps to do a successful job.It is easy to read and apply to the classroom. It also gives good ideas about dealing with the multi-cultural classroom that most teachers deal with today. I was assigned the book in a college class and would not part with it.

I use this excellent little handbook in my methods class at the local university. Inside are hundreds of well-conceived ideas for the English teacher, young or seasoned. As important, though, are sections on professional conduct, which associations are worth joining, and how to approach speech-making, debates, testing, and other issues related to being a career educator. It's a wonderful source book for any teacher who wishes to improve her practice.

I discovered this book when I was in college. I used it in an English methods course for future high school teachers. It has been an excellent resource for me. I let someone borrow it and never got it back; therefore, I am ordering another copy since it is a necessity in my classroomThis can be used for classroom use by the teacher or as a teaching tool for those teaching students to be teachers.I have taught high school and now junior high-this a must for teachers of language arts/English!!!!
