ln a satirical style reminiscent of Dave Barry or Andy Borowitz, "The Novice Teacher Survival Guide" takes a tongue-in-cheek look at education’s sacred cows.

On a more serious note, the final chapter is filled with a wealth of resources that will make any teacher’s life easier. A great gift for veteran teachers, too!
