You should listen to this book if you are:

• A new teacher who is frustrated by your ever-chaotic classroom and desperately needs things to change.
• An experienced teacher who is tired of the status quo and wants their classroom to follow a structure that works.
• A teacher who’s fed up with being interrupted by behavioral issues in the classroom and genuinely wants to understand how best to handle such diversions to make for a better learning experience.

In this book, you will become familiar with:

• Practical ideas that you can quickly implement to manage your classroom excellently.
• Well-laid out strategies that can be applied in everyday life, regardless of the environment e.g. classroom, gym, lunchroom, outside recess, etc.
• An empathetic view of your role as a teacher—the chapters of this book will encourage you to stay the course even when it feels like you aren’t seeing results quickly enough. You got into this profession for your reason, and this book will constantly remind you why.

This book does not promise quick, magical fixes. I can however, promise that it’d be an exciting journey, as you, the teacher, get taught! This is a classroom of sorts. I’d like to say upfront that you’ll have to get your metaphorical hands dirty—and that’s invigorating!
