The second book in the Voices of Experience series (Grades 4—8) is for the middle of the year when you need to get yourself and your students “fired up.”

The author’s best ideas are presented in four activity-based sections:

Relationships: how to build successful and respectful relationships

Organization: how to establish a safe and orderly environment

Assessment: how to involve students in their own assessment

Reliables: how to keep your students active and engaged
