Books Reviews
I have been teaching for 7 years. I have moved grade levels multiple times due to necessity and tenure. I was able to share this book with my new administrator and it has helped build a better school climate. Thank you Ms. Shields. You helped save a teacher”s life.
This was a page turner for me. It spoke to me on such a realistic level, and it offered me some strategies of how to deal with a lot of the issues that I face every day. It even offered me several administrators’ perspectives as well, which I appreciated. I highly recommend it for new and experienced teachers.
I shared your book with an instructional assistant at school. She was so motivated by your book, she enrolled in classes to complete her undergrad degree and get certified to teach. 🙌💜🙌
