When You're the New Teacher - Elizabeth Soslau - Bog

Self-directed, self-paced professional learning teachers can use to build agency and improve their practice, with easy-to-digest ideas that can be implemented in the classroom the next day.
Teachers start their professional journey with a clear aim: to teach well so students thrive socially, emotionally, and academically. All too often, though, the hard realities of teaching (mandated curricula, scripted lesson plans, overloaded schedules, students' personal struggles) hamper the best of intentions. Navigating these challenges and avoiding burnout calls for teachers to build strong relationships among colleagues, students, families, and communities. Those relationships in turn help teachers create contexts for deep learning, reflection, and student-centered instruction. This book provides strategies and tools for doing all this.
