Description
The first year of teaching is always challenging, but in order to thrive and not just survive, you will need some support. Remember, you’re not alone. Every teacher needs help.
Lori Friesen, an experienced teacher, offers invaluable support to the beginning teacher with this book. Inside you’ll find practical strategies, numerous ideas, and activities that you can reproduce and use immediately. Each chapter focuses on one of the six most common problems faced by beginning teachers: classroom management, student motivation, assessment, meeting the unique needs of each student, developing positive relationships with parents, and handling job stress. Also included are chapters that give practical and specific advice for setting up your first classroom, for having fun while establishing class rules in your first days and weeks of teaching, and for finishing the year with memories that you and your students will cherish.
