Terrific Book!
This is a great resource that I came across at a summer conference... and have actually used (unlike so many resources we teachers pick up along the way).I read this guide book twice over the summer and used it to apply to the first book my middle school class would be reading.I began implementing my newly created lessons and book club framework on the first day of school.It's been great!The book has several chapters on general recommendations and then provides two very detailed units (Lowry's The Giver and a multi-book unit on civil rights).Using the general info and the specifics of these two units you can adapt the info to any book you might decide to teach.The back of the book has lots of "Think Sheets" that you will use when teaching your kids to facilitate their student-led book clubs.And did I mention that I teach students with behavior disorders in a special education class... and that these students are frequently 2-4 grade levels behind in reading?Even under these circumstances I found this book to be an engaging read & fun to implement.

Used for a Library Science Class in College
I used this for a Library Science class in college and found it a wonderfully helpful book.For the class were were required to read many adolescent books and then use the Book Club Text as a guide on how to develop literature circles and lesson plans.I especially enjoyed the chapter on The Giver by Lois Lowry.Of course, I am relatively new to the teaching guide books, so there might be many other books that are even more helpful. ...

  Good Reading!
  The topic can be cliche, but the writing makes it easy to stay with it

  For any stage of your career
  This book was recommended to me by a senior executive of a Fortune 500 company. She had used it throughout her career and constantly refers back to it anytime she's thinking through transition.As a young growing professional, this was an unbeatable resource not only for pointing me to think ahead, but for the useful exercises to process my experiences to this point in order to help shape my moving forward.
  
  Buy it...and keep it handy.

  Good tool for career Moms
  Good tool for Moms to create focus and pinpoint what they want rather than just wanting a new career or re-entering the job force.

  Must read by everyone on the job market
