Letters to a New School Teacher: Advice From America's Best Educators - Hardcover

Letters to a New School Teacher was inspired by the selfless legacy of the American school teacher. Who of us cannot name at the very least one teacher who made a difference in our life — and in doing so, made a difference in America itself.So ultimately, we posed one simple question: What would America's best teachers like to tell a new, young, aspiring, or struggling teacher if they could? The answer can be found in these pages, where the U.S. Teachers of the Year for 2011-2012 share their single best piece of advice for a new teacher.
