Each week, Education World spotlights books of interest to educators. This week, read a brief summary of two more of our "top 50 books for educators."

The First Six Weeks of School
The critical first six weeks of school is the focus of this practical book, aimed at building a strong foundation in terms of motivation, cooperation, responsibility and self-control. The book, published by the Responsive Classroom folks, includes daily plans along with commentary for K-2, 3-4, and 5-6, and adds an extensive collection of games, activities, greetings, songs, read-alouds, and other resources that can help make the goal of starting the year strong a reality.

Educational Psychology: Windows on Classrooms
This is a big Prentice-Hall textbook that comes packaged with an access code to a teacher prep Web site -- just in case the 672 pages leave you wanting more! The Web site includes more than 150 video clips and more than 200 "artifacts," as well as 500 plus research papers. If you really want to own a truly comprehensive resource on educational psychology, then, this $115 paperback could actually be a bargain. In its 7th edition, no doubt, it's the book you'd be assigned by many courses in this field.
