Synopsis

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.

About this title

Review:

"The New Teacher Book puts to rest the false dichotomy between academic excel lance and teaching for social justice. It is highly motivating of new teachers and inspirational for us "old" teachers, who will be reminded of the joy, activism, and caring with which we began teaching." --Jill Moss Greenberg, past executive director of the National Association for Multicultural Education (NAME)
