Open Letter to ALL Principals

Dear Principals,

You can have effective teachers overnight. Your students' achievement levels can soar. We are experts at it and want to share with you how to do it. It's one simple word-PROCEDURES!

It is so great to have procedures in place. Every day my students quietly enter the room, sit down, and begin the posted assignment. I thank The First Days of School for everything I learned!

The First Days of School is the best-selling book ever in education with over 3.3 million copies sold worldwide. It has transformed classrooms, schools, and entire school systems into a place where learning takes place in a calm and structured environment.

Wayne Watts, a principal at a middle school in Georgia, says, I opened a new school and in teaching procedures, this has paid off tremendously. In two years, we've earned the highest student achievement scores in our system.

In our recent school start-up, the first day went so smoothly that it was like we had been here for a month already. I tell folks who've not read your book to do so. Teachers just entering the profession are quite pleased to have this resource, and veterans find ways to do things in new and better ways.

If you are interested in the book mentioned, please contact Mark Woodman at www.IESupplies.com.au or call (07) 3202 8005.

Stories and plans of how principals and teachers have implemented The First Days of School can be found at the free website www.teachers.net. Last month's column was about a middle school teacher who was out of control until he discovered our book. And then he experienced something close to "a miracle" in his classroom.

We can help you create a school that hums with order and learning. Our passion is helping teachers teach and helping students learn-around the world.


Wishing you success,

Harry and Rosemary Wong
