Yes, you can make your lessons perfect, and your observation lessons sooooooo much easier with this Teacher Evaluation Guide.  

It includes checklists, charts, cheat-sheets, tips, scripts, class posters, lesson plans and lesson plan templates for your expert Danielson-style teacher evaluation.

I use it all the time for my lesson templates and reminders of best practices.  And I admit, I carry the one-page mini-lesson cheat-sheet in my pocket, in the weeks before every unannounced observation (really!).

If you're a substitute teacher, you'll find that The Substitute Teacher Guide  is much more than a run-of-the-mill kit.

You see, after over 20 years teaching, I've observed hundreds of subs and teachers in action.  I've seen it all--the good, the bad, and the Kindergarten Cop Chaos.  This resource is a detailed and comprehensive account of what to bring, do, and say when you sub.

And it includes dozens of printables a sub can use all year.

NOT JUST FOR SUBS!  If you're a regular teacher, it makes a handy Substitute Binder--for the days you're absent--with explicit directions so you'll return to a semi-normal room.


It also serves as a refresher course for regular teachers, with guides for lessons, behavior management, managing trips, parties, assemblies, and more.

My current favorite is Behavior Management with Humor--a creative approach to discipline in the classroom.  You’ll find tons of tools and strategies for behavior management with laughter.

At every step, we start with the essential skills for no-stress behavior management. Then I'll show you how to infuse these with respectful fun, so they come alive in your classroom.

 If you'd rather go for the whole kit 'n kaboodle -- or is that kitten kaboodle?  --  Here's a soup to nuts behavior management, with the heart of a tiger in a kitten's fur.  

You'll be CALM and CONFIDENT at school—with step-by-step instructions for teaching school rules—starting from the moment you walk through the door of your classroom. 


This mega-bundle includes Behavior Management with Humor, with all the bells 'n whistles, teacher scripts, behavior mod charts that really work (instructions included), Callbacks galore--and my favorite new-agey counting song to calm kids instantly.

Cyber Monday wouldn't be complete without a little holiday fun, now, would it? 

Have a very happy cyber Monday, and I'll see you there.
