Being a new teacher can be stressful. College professors teach text book theory. But when you step into a real live classroom

of your own all of that goes out of the window. Well I found a book that is easy to read and right to the point.

It is called Secrets of Classroom Behavior Management

By Mamie Jefferson-Hill

You can buy it on Amazon.com

This book helped me alleviate stress and help solve many of my problems

This book teaches you how to deal with real life situations.

You are right about one thing. College education professors do not prepare students well enough for the classroom in the real world.

Books are good, so are your fellow teachers.

Just remember that each book and each teacher are not the end all. Glean one or two things from them. The rest comes from experience.

Teacher tips, teaching resources, teaching articles.

Hello all,

Blogs are a great idea for a new teacher. They may want to make them private however. A blog can be a day to day documentation of what works, and what does not work.

It can be a way of putting down thoughts and help make it through psychologically. Being a new teacher is tough. You may give access to your blog to fellow teachers and mentors, so they can comment on what you are doing.

You have to watch what info you give out to the public. If you make things about your class and students public, you may need to clarify the districts policy. Most will not allow names and faces of students.

Using email to keep in touch with parents is worth doing as well. Always use your official school email for such things.

I'm trilled to find, blogs, websites and so much information when it comes to being a new teacher! I'm looking forward to gather and sharing information on this blog :)

I'm not an NYC teacher but found this site useful as being a new teacher can be stressful! 

I agree... Books and blogs and such are all helpful. I'm also a big fan of teachers helping teachers. In that spirit, if you teach reading at all, you should check out the Read Works website... Amazing lesson plans and resources in there. Good luck!

Books are okay, but you really should partner up with a mentor or veteran teacher.
They all want to help. Just finished a blog post on teachers and parents. New
teachers should take note of what they should encourage parents to do.
