Why this book?
I felt isolated and scared in the weeks leading up to my first day as a teacher. I wanted to be great, but didn't know what I should be doing to start the school year strong.
This is the book I wish someone had given to me. Inside, you'll find practical advice and resources for the soon-to-be teacher.
A strong start to the school year matters. A lot. I hope this book helps you not only survive your first weeks in the classroom, but thrive.
