How to Teach School Real Good by Dick Gaillard • Humor and sometimes Satire First Days: References
“Begin your classes in a business like manner. Start the year off on the first day with work. Real work. Don’t smile and don’t parry questions about your marital status or past life. Dive right in. Don’t joke or try to amuse your students and don’t try to be a ‘nice’ person” (96). Gilliard First Day Tip
Making Learning Happen by Jeffrey N Golub • High energy learning First Days: References
I have come to understand the cautionary note voiced by my mentor and respected colleague, Roy Alin: “Don’t mistake motion for progress.” …ways to restructure your classroom so that progress happens –” Jeffrey N Golub First Days: References

Why or why not? Classroom Management
Advice from Gaillard “Treat the biggest meanest kid you’ve got as firmly as you would anyone else. Never hesitate to punish a student for an infraction of your rules. Make it swift and sure every time it’s necessary. ..Once you've established absolute control of your classroom, pass out compliments by the bushels.” Classroom Managment
