We know what it’s like to enter a classroom for the first time and think, “I’m the adult in charge right now?” Authors Matt, Sam, Casey, and Kevin have extensive experience both in teaching and as leaders helping pre-service educators transition to the classroom. The first year can be overwhelming from the start.
Our upcoming book is meant to shorten your learning curve and help you operate at your best in the classroom. Furthermore, we will lead you through some of the most difficult and jarring situations that a teacher may ever have to deal with. Through compassion, empathy, and experience, we will prepare you for the realities of the classroom.
