Comments from teachers who have purchased Dream Class…
“Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been struggling with classroom management for years now and Dream Class has finally answered the questions I had and could never find the answers to”
“I have never read a book like yours, it’s incredible. I am so excited about starting the new school year!”
-Vanessa, 7th Grade Teacher

“I recently purchased the book and have just finished reading it. I must say, it’s so good… I could eat it for lunch!”
“I currently teach an amazing group of Kindergarteners, however this is my first year teaching this grade (previously I taught in a three-to-six Montessori classroom). The issues your book addresses are the very questions that have been on my mind as I try to develop my teaching identity and style. The steps that I have put into practice have already made a positive difference in the classroom. Thank you!”
-Muniba, Kindergarten Teacher

“I just read the book Dream Class by Michael Linsin. PHENOMENAL!! I read the whole thing in one day and tried some of his “top 15″ today. It was one of the smoothest days ever!”
-Desiree, 2nd Grade Teacher

“Hi Michael, Before I ordered your book I was starting to think that my family could surely survive on my husband’s salary alone because I could not possible continue teaching to this group of students. I was frustrated and at the end of my rope with the few who get out of hand. I received your book in the mail last Saturday and read it cover to cover…”
“Two days! It’s been only two days and I feel GREAT. I felt comfortable enough that we actually played games in a group while two smaller groups of students did other activities. Amazing what a little fun will do for your outlook. I’m doing a happy dance. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I think I can have an outstanding year with these students who I know can accomplish so much.”
-Kathy, 4th Grade Teacher

“Your book has helped me put things in perspective. Consistency is the key. Your ideas have helped me to enjoy my class again and enjoy teaching.”
-Whitney, 2nd Grade Teacher
-
“Thanks so much for writing this book!!! I am a veteran teacher of 28 years, and I have never read a more practical and comprehensive guide for excellent classroom management. Although I use many of the strategies, you have certainly given this “old” teacher some new ideas, and for that I thank you very much.”
-Sherri, Classroom Teacher

“I loved this book. It has helped me more than any other teaching book I’ve ever read and given me a completely different perspective on classroom management. Dream Class really simplified things for me and helped me understand that I can have fun with my students and still have excellent control.”
“Since finishing the book, I’ve had the best days of teaching I’ve ever had. My students are calm and happy, and my stress level is almost nonexistent. It doesn’t matter who is in my classroom or how many “behavior problems” I have on my roster because now I have the skills and confidence to create the class that I really want.”
-Jennifer, 7th & 8th Grade Teacher

“Wow! I just finished the book, Dream Class, and let me say that it’s wonderful and life changing if you are open to letting it change your way of classroom management. You won’t see MY copy of this book for sale on Ebay, no sir!”
“I am a veteran teacher with this being my 15th year, and I still felt like I was lacking in classroom management skills. While reading this book, I occasionally emailed Mr. Linsin and he was very thoughtful to email back and answer my questions.”
“Some of the most heartfelt and personal points for me were close to the end of the book, and it’s just the kind of things I needed to hear. Let me tell you, they were not pretty, butter-you-up kinds of things either! In fact, Mr. Linsin probably knew that those key points were what I needed to hear by reading my emails; but instead of telling me, he let me find out on my own. Lesson learned, Mr. Linsin and thank you!”
“The blog is extremely helpful as well, but to really understand what he’s talking about at a deeper level, I recommend you read the book. The articles in the blog really add to the content of the book, it’s not repetative but everything still falls into the same “keys” to understanding classroom management.”
“The best part of all is – guess what? It’s not ROCKET SCIENCE guys, it’s all so simple if you will just open your eyes. I will be referring to this book often, especially if I lose my way and fall into old habits. I will recommend this book to anyone – anytime!”
-Janet, Kindergarten Teacher

“I feel so fortunate to have read your book, Dream Class. I loved that the chapters were short, easy to read, and got right to the point. Everything you said made perfect sense! I so enjoyed the quotes you used at the beginning of every chapter, as they really seemed to capture the essence of that chapter’s message.”
“Your real-life examples were right on the money, as I have heard some of those myself (and may even be guilty of one).”
“There is much that I can take and use in my classroom and with my whole teaching personality as well. On a practical note, among other ideas, I love, and will use, an open house invitation in a sealed envelop… thank you.”
“Again, this is an awesome book–very inspiring. I am so glad that I own it. I have been teaching over thirty years and this is a real pick-me-up. I have taught everything from Kindergarten through fifth grade, with a possibility of teaching sixth this school year.”
-Sandra, Grade School Teacher

“Michael Linsin has written a book that captivates your mind and brings you into his world and experiences. It is easy to read and is written from his wealth of knowledge and wisdom gained from his many years of teaching. I recommend it and will use it with open arms. Let’s get ready for a great year!”
-Chris, 5th Grade Teacher

“This book was just what I needed. I love, love, loved it! Such an easy read. I constantly caught myself being guilty of several things you were saying were no-nos. I needed this book this year. I have great kids! I love them all and they know it, but it was me that was doing all the wrong things. I’m putting the ideas in this book into place ASAP! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the world!”
-Erin, 1st & 2nd Grade Teacher

“I ordered and received your wonderful book, Dream Class. I am a special education teacher and am in my 27th year of teaching. I am always looking for new ideas to keep my teaching fresh and my students fulfilled. I am so happy that I happened to find your website while browsing the internet. I love the 15 keys. I would highly recommend your book to any teacher. It would be a great gift for a beginning teacher. It’s something I wish I had when I first began teaching. Thank you.”
-Marilyn, Special Education Teacher

“Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how much I enjoyed Dream Class. I found it to be a friendly, easy, and entertaining read bursting with fantastic ideas that I can use in my classroom immediately! I can’t wait to transform my group of students into my dream class. Thanks to your book, I have the resources to do it.”
-Jody, 5th Grade Teacher

“I wanted to thank you for writing such an inspirational book. I have just started my third year of teaching and started using the principles in your book toward the end of last year. It has made such a difference! I swear by your book to everyone I know who is a teacher. I am still working really hard to enforce 100% of the time, which is definitely the most difficult part, but I’m getting closer every day. Many thanks!”
-Alexandra, 9th Grade Science Teacher
