Letters to a Young Classroom Teacher

By Gerald Rising

Letters To A Young Classroom Teacher addresses the real world of the beginner's first assignment, preparing you for the essence of that world. It provides the kind of advice I wish I had as a new teacher when I first took met my student charges. In formal terms the letters represent the advice of a highly honored classroom teacher to a beginner based on my experiences in urban, rural and suburban schools and my additional decades of work with classroom teachers. Less formally, it simply prepares you for the many unexpected features of your first year. Letters goes well beyond the roles played by student teaching and studying methods texts. In student teaching the organization and discipline of the classroom is that of the sponsoring teacher. And the teaching is mid-year, not at the more difficult time of school opening. And methods texts do not prepare you for the school society to which you must accommodate. This book is modeled on E.O. Wilson's bestseller, Letters to a Young Scientist, and George Miller's much older but still delightful Letters from a Hard-Boiled Teacher to his Half-Baked Son.
