Always A Lesson: Teacher Essentials For Classroom And Career Success

BOLSTER YOUR CONFIDENCE IN THE CLASSROOM WITH PRACTICAL TOOLS AND PROVEN TECHNIQUES Teacher-preparation programs provide new teachers with a basis of knowledge, but that basis is often missing a crucial element. The result is a wobbly foundation, and new teachers often feel as though collapse is right around the corner. Always A Lesson fills in those gaps, shoring up that foundation so you can feel solid and confident as you build your teaching career. Short and to-the-point, this book takes you straight to the information you need to know and the steps you need to take, without a lot of fluff or filler.
