Hands down, the best book for teachers on the market. Very practical and extremely user-friendly. I ordered a copy for all of my teachers - not just the new ones and mentors. The `Answers' in this book are for EVERYONE. I like this book because I feel it is very important for all teachers, whether or not they are mentors or beginners, to remember what it is like to be a new teacher. I think that everyone can benefit from being reminded how to act appropriately with their students and their fellow teachers. The tips presented in the book are easily accessible and easily implemented. I have also had the pleasure of hearing Ms. Breaux speak and was very impressed. She speaks like she writes!

I purchased a book for every teacher. Their responses have been very positive. It has renewed the spirit of the veteran teachers and has provided another learning tool for the new teachers. Thanks to Annette Breaux for this common sense book!
An invaluable resource for the teaching field

This is absolutely the best book I've ever read for new teachers and mentors. Actually, it's great for any kind of teacher or anyone who works with children. Parents as well can benefit immensely from some of Ms. Breaux's insights. The information comes from the author's many years of hands on experience working with both children and with other teachers in a classroom setting. The author's story is one of tremendous success--she practices what she preaches and the results are unimaginable. Now we have the great fortune of her sharing it all with everyone who wants to be a more effective teacher.

A "Must Have"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Breaux's tips for new teachers are practical and easy to use. The book is written in a common sense format using real-life stories to drive home the points. It served as a survival guide for myself as a mentor. I gave it to the teacher I was mentoring when she passed her state assessment. She also praised it as one of the best resources she had during her first year of teaching. All new teachers and mentors should receive copies of this book! It's definitely a "must have" for educators!
