Book excerpt: Everything You Need to Know to Survive and Thrive as a New Elementary School TeacherThis is the book that I wish had existed when I was training to become a new teacher and taking over my first classroom. There was SO much to learn! And so much conflicting advice... it drove me crazy to think that I couldn't find the most-critical information in one place.Well, I've taken care of that for you! In Achieving Classroom Confidence, I explain: Things they will never tell you in college about the way the education system really works. How to act as a new teacher so children want to learn from you. The fundamentals of getting children to behave. The basics of setting up your room effectively without spending too much time or money. How to schedule, plan and deliver your lessons. And a thousand other details I wish someone had told me so I didn't have to learn them all the hard way! Shortcut Your Sucess by Learning from My ExperienceAnd from my mistakes!This is the book for first-time teachers starting new jobs and pre-service teachers who are just beginning their education journeys. The "new teacher" phase is a time of intense learning - a critical time for laying a foundation that will ensure you thrive in this profession rather than burning out and leaving. I want you to stay, because you are desperately needed by children, but you have to know what you are getting yourself into. In short, if you have made a commitment to becoming not just a teacher, but an awesome, life-changing teacher... This the book for you.
