The First-Year Teacher: Teaching With Confidence (K-8)

This book has given me many ideas I hope to implement in my classroom. As a first year education student, this book has everything I need to help me get through my first year effortlessly. The book has lesson plan ideas, portfolio entry ideas, and help with resumes.I feel this book will assist me in my many years of teaching.

This book radiates wonderful and resourceful ideas, lesson plans, and time saving tips. As a beginning teacher, I found The First Year Teacher an excellent handbook and would definitely included it in my library professional collection for teachers. Jeffery P.

I was fortunate enough to take my student teaching seminar with one of the authors of this book (Dr. Karen Bosch). Although she is terrific in and of herself, her co-authored book is outstanding. From the first on campus interview with human resources personnel to my first day of teaching, this book had it all. There are chapters to guide you through each step of the process to becoming the first year teacher that we all dream and hope to be. It's written from the perspective of the teacher him/herself. Each thought shared by other first year teachers were echoed through myself during those first few days of teaching. I recommend this book to everyone who is about to embark upon their teaching career and those who are returning to the career after an extended absense. It has been my guide book through everything.
