Description

Description

"Practical, hands-on strategies to guide beginning teachers through their initial teaching experience. A roadmap to a successful journey."
Michael Johnson, Principal
Alameda High School
Alameda, CA

"Provides the practical support that new teachers need to help them succeed . . . and at the same time provides the theoretical support that all teachers need to help them become truly professional educators."
Marion McDowell
Former Deputy Superintendent
Sequoia Union High School District

Life-saving tools and techniques for that first year of teaching!

Every day of the school year is the first day of the school year . . . for some teacher, somewhere. And whenever that first day occurs, the challenge is the same: to focus on everything and everyone—students, parents, colleagues, teaching associates, and school site administrators—and make it all work.

This new book of insights and ideas is designed especially for beginning secondary teachers who want to excel during that all-important first year. Included are strategies on:

  • What to do before the first day of school, from planning classroom design to dressing for success
  • Handling that first week of school
  • Planning for classroom instruction
  • Student recordkeeping
  • Classroom management and discipline
  • Working with colleagues, substitutes, and paraprofessionals
  • Communicating with parents

. . . and invaluable insights on self-evaluation, school politics, and finding a balance between work, home, and colleagues.

Succeeding in the Secondary Classroom is a culmination of materials from master teachers who work with beginning teachers every day to help them succeed.
