New Teacher Book: Finding Purpose, Balance and Hope During Your First Years in the Classroom

Teaching is a lifelong challenge, but the first few years in the classroom are typically among a teacher's hardest. This collection of writings and reflections--some by new teachers, others by veterans with decades of experience to share--offers practical guidance on how to effectively navigate the school system, how to form rewarding professional relationships with colleagues, and how to connect in meaningful ways with students and families from all cultures and backgrounds. This book is ideal for teacher education courses, new teacher induction programs, mentoring programs, and alternative certification programs.
