Great advice for the new teacher

Do you know someone in your family or a friend about to graduate and take that first plunge into the world of teaching?

Well, one of our own wrote a great book that is the perfect gift and possibly one that will enable her/him to make it through that first year. English teacher Michael Kennedy wrote a treasure piece entitle-- Teacher to Teacher. It is filled with a kind and tender narrative about teaching and making it through the tough days. It is a book about the love of teaching and the horrors of being a teacher.

For that first year person this is the book. It is the toolkit, the saving bible and a place to return to time and again and claim that Kennedy was writing about your experiences today.

It is available through amazon.com and other online book sellers. Ask your local book store to see if they have copies for sale.

Your new teacher friend will thank you many times in the years to come.
