Customer Reviews

General Information

This book was more of a general guide to teaching. It covers all areas in all grades. Good information, but pretty basic.

EXC

i LOVE THIS BOOK !!! EASY TO READ AND EVEN EASIER TO APLLY WHEN U ARE A NEW TEACH

First Time Teacher

Recepient very happy with my choice. She will be new to teaching in the Fall, 2008 and is excited to adopt these suggestions to her first classroom.

This book reveals much more than what you learn in College

I disagree with one of the reviewers of this book. The Everything New Teacher Book tells much more about 'the way it is'. It gives insight into what a new teacher will have to deal with politically and otherwise. It gives a view of education that doesn't always subscribe to what college of education professors think is true. I believe that it gives a much more realistic and even view of what teaching is all about.

Save My Sanity

Every new teacher or returning teacher needs this survival guide. The book walks the inexperienced teacher through the jungle of the staff room, the copy machine and the setting up of their very first day. I purchased this book for my young sister-in-law as a a graduation gift and for my student teacher as a congratulations on your new job gift. Excellent gift idea for teacher unions for 1st year teachers in their disctrict.
