Excellent resource!

Don't waste your money

Verified Purchase

Jim Burke should have stopped publishing after he wrote English Teacher' Companion. Nothing he's written since has even come close. He keeps cranking out second rate booklets about "the craft", and I, up until this last purchase, kept hoping he would be able to match the quality of Companion. None has come close.

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2008

As always, Jim Burke has produced a concise and user-friendly resource for teachers. Each chapter's key idea is followed with guiding principles for immediate implementation or for a comparative review of teaching practices. His Tech Notes remind us of our responsibility to integrate 21st Century literacy skills, and his "Keep in Mind" additions give us reason to reflect. Don't overlook the Works Cited page either as it highlights the best of current research and practice.

This book would be an outstanding addition to any new teacher mentoring program.

A Necessary Book for Every Teacher

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2008

The book Everday Instruction is a short concisce book that contains information that is necessary for every teacher. I liked this book because it is specific and I can use it as a reference when needed. It covers a variety of topics and helps to provide effective instruction in various setings and using a variety of methods. I highly reccommend this book for all teachers to have in thier library and refer to often.
