Book details

Book description

While many companies provide on-the-job training programs for new recruits, teachers are given a classroom full of students and a directive: ""ducate the next generation of Americans." With this daunting task before them, teachers today are confronted with overcrowded classrooms, budget cuts, and a faltering education system. The Everything® New Teacher Book recognizes that during the first couple of years in the classroom, teachers need effective suggestions on how to have a positive and lasting impact on their students. From the rules and tools of a successful learning environment to advice on behavior management, The Everything® New Teacher Book is the perfect guide for teachers during their first or second year-and veteran teachers making a grade change.

Melissa Kelly (Palm Harbor, FL) is a veteran teacher who has taught all levels of students, including students with learning disabilities, students with medical disabilities, and students in Advanced Placement courses. She is currently the guide for About. com's Secondary School Educators' site, where she writes articles, creates lesson plans, and provides valuable resources to teachers around the country and the world.
