TEACH LIKE A CHAMPION
By Doug Lemov is a MUST READ!!! I not only recommend this book for new teachers, but for veteren teachers as well. It offers 49 effective teaching techniques that help teachers become champions in their classroom. What I love about these techniques is that you can read about the technique and easily put it into practice that day! Another nice attribute is that the book comes with a DVD so that you can watch clips of each strategy in action in real classrooms. A sample of what you will read about includes:
Technique #1: No Opt Out. How to move students from the blank stare or stubborn
shrug to giving the right answer every time.
Technique #35: Do It Again. When students fail to successfully complete a basic task, from entering the classroom quietly to passing papers around, doing it again, doing it right, and doing it perfectly, results in the best consequences.
Technique #38: No Warnings. If you’re angry with your students, it usually means you should be angry with yourself. This technique shows how to effectively address misbehaviors in your classroom. - You can buy it at:

The latest: It looks like they have come out with an enhanced edition for the ipad which looks even better because the video is embedded, so you can watch the clips as you read each technique, rather than having to put a DVD in and play it. COOL huh!!!
