Many young teachers move into their first classroom and feel unequipped to handle all the unexpected challenges, they may even feel as confused and out of their depth as a new student. I recently joined as a teacher in a school and this book helped me a lot.

Very helpful!

It was a very positive and reassuring book. Of course we want to go the “extra mile” as teachers but it’s healthy to draw a line. Teachers are human with feelings of fear and anxiousness. This book help put some of this to rest. Nicely done.

Great to know

Education is a social process and represents present life. There are many actionable ways this belief could show itself in the classroom. In your early years in the classroom, capitalizing on the knowledge of fellow teachers and setting up systems for all tasks—large and small—will be extremely helpful. Very informative.

For beginners!

My cousin just starting his teaching career, has found this audiobook very helpful. This would help him transition into full-time teaching. The audiobook elaborated on what to expect when starting as a new teacher and this would help to get them better prepared for their new role. The book has shed light on a few issues that are seldom addressed. This would be an eye-opener for all fresh teachers. My cousin is so grateful for this audiobook. This is a must-have for all new teachers.
