If you're like me, you may wish you could redo your first year of teaching. If I knew then what I know now, my first year (or two) would have gone differently and I could have saved myself (and my students) some heartache. While we can't go back and change the past, we can learn and grow as teachers. Whether you're a new teacher, a veteran, or somewhere in between, I'm hoping this book will make your job easier. It's already hard enough.
