Book Title: Right…from the Beginning

Subtitle: A differentiated decision-making guide for getting the school year off to a good start

Author: Roberta Harman Ford

Book Description: Right...from the Beginning is based on the belief that certain best teaching practices form the basis of all successful classrooms, and that teachers can incorporate those practices in light of their own teaching styles and personalities. This guide covers basic teaching best practices, gives specific examples of how other teachers have incorporated those practices into their classrooms, lets the readers decide which approach will work best for them, and ends by using those choices to develop actual classroom-tested scripts teachers can follow or adapt for their own first days of school. Out of all the teaching resources that fill the shelves, Right...from the Beginning is the only differentiated approach that blends best teaching practices with teachers’ own styles and leaves them with practical, personalized scripts they can follow those first days of school.
