Charismatic teacher, trainer, staff developer, and school principal Anita Moultrie Turner offers us her "recipe" for how great teachers lead great classrooms. This humorous and accurate little guide to effective classrooms where all learners succeed will be a tasty treat for new teachers, experienced teachers, and staff developers alike.

The author's 11 essential "ingredients" for success include:

* Motivating students "with a spoonful of honey"

* Managing student behaviour and discipline ("making sure the cake rises")

* Creating a positive classroom environment ("an equitable dining room")

Each chapter features "extra seasonings" and "savory morsels," including classroom stories, quotations, and small servings of educational wit and wisdom. A "reflection menu" and cross references to other topics provide "dessert" for each chapter, making this a delicious way to learn and share best teaching practices with colleagues.

Industry Reviews

"I particularly liked all the examples and 'bags of tricks,' such as what to include on a bulletin board and how to set up a student notebook. Very valuable to new teachers." -- Kathleen Prisbell, English Teacher/Curriculum Council Chair
"Uses tried-and-true methods that work. A wonderful addition are the Extra Seasoning, Savory Morsel, and Reflection sections, which make the reader summarize and ponder each chapter. Contains helpful and practical information any teacher or parent can use." -- Tammy Shifflett, Science Teacher
"Encourages creativity in the classroom, not just to make the learning fun and interesting, but because real-life skills are what students need the most in order to become productive and successful adults." -- John Pieper, Fifth-Grade Teacher
"This book does for teachers what it suggests that teachers do for their students-give them the foundation and empower them to find and set their own course." -- Patricia Clark, First-Grade Teacher
"An enjoyable read that will touch anyone who is in the field of education." -- Randy Cook, Science Teacher
"A guide for new teachers and education majors, as well as a reference for veterans to fall back on when they hit that teaching wall and need a change of perspective and approach." -- Scott Braxton, Director of High School Services
"An easy-to-comprehend, go-to guide filled with valuable advice especially for grade school and high school teachers. Filled cover to cover with techniques for successful curriculum planning, strategies for creating environments that promote learning, witty classroom stories and quotations, valuable advice for being fair and consistent, and much more, all served up with a dash of humor for spice. Highly recommended." -- Library Bookwatch, March 2007
