Teachers Resource Books

This book, The New Elementary Teacher's Handbook: Flourishing in Your First Year, gives you real, sensible and very useful advice. It is not fluff or idealistic, but gives ideas that work. As a first grade teacher, this book has helped me very much. It has strategies on everything, fitting in with others, keeping organized, management, planning, discipline prevention, assessment strategies, parent tips and more! It even has some useful reproducibles to help implement these strategies.
