Editorial Reviews
Gary Hopkins, Editor-in-Chief, Education World, August 1998
No college program can prepare new teachers for the enormity of the task ahead. But the year will be made more manageable if the new teacher is prepared to take on a few mountains. That's why every teacher needs a "bag of tricks" -- a "survival kit"! Not long ago, teachers Emma McDonald and Dyan Hershman were new teachers. They remember those days well; they know what all first-year teachers go through! That's why the two veteran teachers have put together the Survival Kit for New Teachers. This "survival kit's" 200-plus, spiral-bound pages are packed full of practical ideas and strategies for beginning teachers. Even the most experienced teachers will find the "kit" to be a useful teaching tool! Hershman and McDonald, both teachers in the Dallas area, cover just about every problem a teacher might encounter in Year One, or Year Twenty-Five. Useful and workable ideas, tips, strategies, and activities are offered in response to teacher questions and comments such as: * What questions do I need to ask to help me get a better start? * How do I talk to parents or hold a conference? * My education classes didn't teach me this! * How am I supposed to grade this? What is a rubric? * I'm so frazzled. Somebody help me, please! And if a new teacher gets stuck, can't find the solution to a question or problem, all he or she needs to do is email the question to the authors of Survival Kit for New Teachers! Just go to the book's Web site at http://www.inspiringteachers.com and click on Ask a Mentor. A response will come back "as quick as a student being called for recess!"
