The 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. Since The New Teacher Book first came out in 2004, it has become an invaluable resource for new teachers entering the classroom. This expanded 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, form rewarding professional relationships with colleagues, and connect in meaningful ways with students and families from all cultures and backgrounds.

I had this book on my wishlist for over a year, and I finally got it for Christmas. I really didn't know what to expect. To be honest, I thought it was going to be dry, boring, and full of obvious advice found in textbooks. I started reading it the day I got it, with my intention being to read a chapter a night before bed. The problem is, I am currently student teaching and therefore very tired, all the time. I have a hard time putting this book down, even when my eyelids are closing. Yes, I could read the book in one sitting, but I want to savor it. I want to take the time to get everything I possibly can from it. _The New Teacher Book_ is well-written, beautifully narrated, and full of wisdom, humor, and insight. If you or someone you know is a new or soon-to-be teacher, this book is a must. You will not be disappointed. Even though I am not even half finished with it, I know that I will be re-reading this book over and over again.

I adore this book. I'm so invested in all of the stories and many of them resonated with me in my experiences. There are some new ideas within the stories and they have inspired me. I'm so happy I read this before my first year.

A lot of great practical advice for new teachers. Gave a copy to a niece at Christmas, who's a new teacher, she loved it.

Great condition. Also solid advice. However, at times the advice seems relatively un-realistic.

Great book of tips, stories and ideas from teachers. Very encouraging for new teachers.

General book with separate articles by different authors.
