Teaching is not what it use to be.

By explaining the trials and tribulations a young urban educator can go through, this book lays a path towards success. This is a must have, if you have just got a job in the teaching profession, or are planning to. Eric is not shy about bringing to the forefront the scary statistics of how young teachers fail, or give up too early. His book will defiantly give you the guidance needed to stick with it and better our national education system.

Truly IS a Must-Have for ALL Urban Educators

Eric Allen's book is a vital component to any urban educator's professional library. The book is full of useful, real-world advice that leads to greater student achievement, classroom management, and effectiveness overall. For those who don't know, over half of all beginning urban educators quit within five years! This is certainly not a positive thing for the future of our country. "Surviving and Thriving in the Beginning Years as an Urban Educator" reminds urban educators why we went into teaching in the first place, and helps us to not only "survive" the first few years, but "thrive" for many successful years to come.

EXCELLENT!!!

Excellent book for ALL teachers! The author does a fantastic job of accomplishing what he set out to do- provide valuable insight and motivation to educators who have just begun careers in an urban setting. Furthermore, "Mr. Allen" was able to surpass this goal tremendously! This book reminds us why we chose our profession. The author draws on his own and many other educators' experiences to give us CONCISE and CONCRETE suggestions for improving our ability to reach our students. In the process, the book also rejuvenates our sense of fulfillment from our demanding career.
