Praise for the first edition:

"As a primary teacher for 33 years, I thought I had made all the time-management adjustments possible—until I read Time-Saving Tips for Teachers. Now I know you can 'teach an old dog new tricks' about conferencing, planning, assessing students, filing, handling absences, and a whole lot more. No more 'Sunday Night Blues'!"

"This is a must-read for teachers who coach, serve on committees, have families, or do all of the above. New teachers will find that it makes that first year less overwhelming. The time spent to read this book will be recovered many times over. The reproducible pages are an invaluable resource."
Francis M. McCullin, Mathematics Instructor

No time? Now the update to the best-selling first edition is packed with even more practical, tested ideas and resources to help you "contain" your job and still maintain high standards!

Let's face it—as a teacher, you need and deserve a secretary and at least one assistant. But since that kind of support is unlikely, this is the book that will help you continue to be a good teacher without going crazy!

The format lets you browse through the chapters and apply the ideas that fit your immediate needs and style—and the second edition now includes over 60 reproducible forms that you can use right away, covering student and parent information, reading and writing coaches, homework, standards for assignments, and supplies, just to name a few. New tips include portfolios, substitute teachers, email, handheld computers, and the Internet.

Chapters provide ideas on how to save time without diminishing quality by:

Communicating effectively—but briefly
Managing materials
Planning the week ahead
Learning to say "No"
Using the Internet to save time
Working with substitutes and volunteers
Creating a filing system that saves time
Avoiding distractions
Treating yourself as a professional

Learn to work smarter with Time-Saving Tips and enjoy your life outside of teaching once again!
