5.0 out of 5 stars A "Must Have", February 12, 2003

Breaux's tips for new teachers are practical and easy to use. The book is written in a common sense format using real-life stories to drive home the points. It served as a survival guide for myself as a mentor. I gave it to the teacher I was mentoring when she passed her state assessment. She also praised it as one of the best resources she had during her first year of teaching. All new teachers and mentors should receive copies of this book! It's definitely a "must have" for educators!
