Learning to be a teacher – the journey from school to classroom

My First Year as a Teacher by Pearl Rock Kane (Editor)

My First Year as a Teacher is a great compilation of twenty-five teacher’s stories about different things that happened during their first-year of teaching. These stories reveal all the wonderful and difficult things that happen to teachers when dealing with a variety of different types of students.

As a new teacher I found this book to be an invaluable one to read before I begin my first teaching job. It reminded and reassured me that I am not alone as I embark on this new experience. Many have come before me and many will come after, but it’s hearing other amazing teachers stories that invigorates us to be the best teachers we can be for our students.
