Covering every topic teachers need to focus on, from setting up the physical space of the classroom to assessment to home-school relations to teaching caring and more, this book offers advice from teachers and researchers. The many checklists and reproducibles are especially handy!

I'm a soon-to-be student teacher and this text has been an invaluable resource to me. It covers every aspect of teaching, many of which are items people may forget to think about. This book will prevent that so you'll be more prepared each and every day of your career.

This is a beautifully designed and crafted volume that speaks clearly to both new and veteran teachers about the essential topics of instruction -- those critical first days of the year, organization and management, planning, subject matter teaching, parent-teacher relationships, and mentoring. Learning to Teach draws its lessons from the two main sources of educational understanding: research and experience. The results of educational research are presented accurately and always in the context of usefulness to the learning teacher.
