Pursuing a career as an educator? Anxious about preparing lesson plans, parent-teacher conferences, or observations?

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Read!

Not only was this book informative and to the point, it was also enjoyable and inspiring to read. It was the perfect reminder of what is needed from us to be great teachers. As Abdelnour says “students have needs that go beyond the curriculum” and for first year teachers that’s hard to realize. Abdelnour also provides us with his realistic responses to questions that parents, students, or administrators might ask which I found could be very helpful for a first year teacher. I am not a first year teacher (this is my 6th year teaching) and this book inspired me in many ways especially in helping my students feel more hopeful and of course to always be myself!

This is a useful guide for teachers just going into the profession. It gives good advice snd provides real world examples. I am not a teacher, but manage a large group of diverse individuals. I found a lot of the advice given can apply in a management setting too.

This book is absolutely amazing! Not only is this perfect for new teachers but it is also perfect for veteran teachers as well. I know it gave me that spark and reminder of why I went into the profession. This book was so well written and so useful. I can’t wait to read it again and I highly recommend this book for leisure reading or for professional development!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Invaluable Read for New Teachers and Veterans Alike
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2021
As a teacher going into my 9th year of full-time teaching secondary math I started to read Abe's book and found myself instantly agreeing and wishing I heard these thoughts when I first started. The topics and takeaways from this book are things that now feel obvious but as a first year teacher, transitioning from being the student to being the teacher, you need to learn them for yourself. This is an invaluable read for first year teachers and a great reminder for the veterans too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical and Effective Strategies for ALL teachers!
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2021
There are so many professional readings out there for teachers that it can get overwhelming for a first year teacher. I found this book to be very practical and very effective. Abe does a great job at laying out concrete examples of what these strategies look like and sound like in the classroom. I would recommend this book for any teacher, not just a first year teacher. Such a great read!
