The New Elementary Teacher's Handbook
Flourishing in Your First Year

Second Edition


May 2002 | 248 pages | Corwin
The New Elementary Teacher's Handbook, Second Edition adds new insights into the plight that faces the twenty-first century teacher. With changing demographics and added pressure from state and local governments in the area of accountability and stricter standards for teachers and students alike, new teachers need a resource that can help guide them through their day-to-day routine. This book helps them do just that with activities, strategies, and techniques to help the new teacher save time and energy.

Due to teacher shortages, many teachers today are not credentialed and need the common sense help that this book offers. Faced with the daunting task of keeping their teaching skills current, today's educators also need to stay abreast of changing conditions in the field of education, technology, and community. The author has written a simple, concise, and detailed handbook to get today's teacher through the difficult early years of teaching.
