Product Description

The perfect guide for teachers of all grade levels.

Customer Reviews

dissatisfied
This book appears to be useful only for secondary teachers. That was not stated in any of the information about the book and I would not have purchased it had I known. The author should have thought of that in the title, since its not what every teacher needs to know, but only secondary teachers. Its was not useful at all for people at the elementary level.

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.

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.
