Teach Like Your Hair's on Fire: The Methods and Madness Inside Room 56

I am not a full time teacher, but my friend recommended I read this book. I actually haven't read the entire book, but just reading the 6 different levels of thinking which I do aspire to achieve is inspiring and motivating.I bought the cheaper priced book, so anybody ordering should be aware that delivery is from the USA and it takes at least up to three weeks to arrive.

Excellent, inspiring and somewhat daunting read. Everything I inspire to be as an educator and everything that I’m not yet!

I try not to read too many work related books during my Easter hols; but I couldn't out this down! Well written, interesting & made you really want to meet the author.It just made sense & I've been teaching 18 years (blimey)

Insightful, fun read that will improve your teaching. Out of the box thinking for the enthusiastic teacher. The book challenges the over-structured system of The National Curriculum in America, but is equally valuable in The UK.

The author takes an unpleasant, self congratulating and superior tone and the main piece of advice for teachers seems to be that we should give up any attempts at a life and teach literally from dawn to dark. I'm annoyed and disappointed that I wasted my money.
