The most important day of a person's education is the first day of school, not Graduation Day.

A well-managed classroom is a task-oriented and predictable environment.

The single greatest effect on student achievement is not race, it is not poverty - it is the effectiveness of the teacher.

Half of what you will accomplish in a day will be determined before you leave home. Three quarters of what you achieve will be determined before you enter the classroom door

The most important day of a person's education is the first day of school, not Graduation Day.

The number one problem in the classroom is not discipline; it is the lack of procedures and routines.

It is the teacher - what the teacher knows and can do - that is the most significant factor in student achievement.
