Whether you are a new teacher looking for guidance, a mentor or administrator supporting new teachers, or a professor in a teacher education program,
this book is for you!
This is the inspiring, comprehensive and accessible guide that new educators need to survive the first year and thrive in the profession.
“The word courage is nestled inside of encouragement; it is my hope that this book speaks courage into the hearts of first-year teachers and those who support them.”
The First-Year Teacher's Survival Guide provides valuable strategies, activities, and tools you need to succeed in the classroom.
Now in its fifth edition, this book meets the needs of today’s K-12 teachers, updated with the latest tools, techniques, and topics that aren’t addressed in teacher education programs.
Inside, you will find practical information on classroom management, professional growth, trauma-informed practices, student engagement, social-emotional learning and more. You’ll also get an essential introduction to teaching and learning in an AI-enabled world, as well as maximizing the use of digital tools, devices, and apps. This must-have guide is filled with the information and strategies new PK-12 teachers need to face classroom challenges with confidence and thrive in the profession.
