"The First-Year Teacher has been the key to easing the stress of being a new educator. I have been a new teacher, transferred to a new school district, and changed grade levels every year since I have been teaching. Success would not have been possible without Karen Bosch’s book. The First Year Teacher provides teachers with all the tools needed to achieve their utmost as an educator. Teachers can earn the praise of the city, their administration, co-educators, and parents by using the strategies taught in this book. When I am fortunate enough to mentor practicum students and student teachers this is the first resource I give them. If you care about giving superior instruction with optimum organization and preparation this book is a must!"
