Recenzje

"Some books offer inspiration; others inform with tactics and strategies a rare few do both. First Class Teaching is one of those rare books. With her witty personality, practical strategies, some humor thrown in the mix, and her you-can-do-this attitude, Michelle helps new teachers navigate the difficult waters of being a classroom teacher, learn how to balance it all and still have some energy left at the end of the school day. A must read for every new or aspiring teacher!"- Anna DiGilio, M.Ed, Founder & CEO of Guided Readers and a 24-year veteran classroom teacher"Michelle brings humor and relatability to the stressful job of a new teacher. Her encouraging lessons will help all teachers gain confidence and clarity in the not-so-ordinary experience that is teaching!"- Susan Jones, owner of Susan Jones Teaching"First Class Teaching leads to front row learning. This book has you defining, refining, and shining in your classroom. A thoughtful playbook to help any educator be more intentional with their students."- Michael Matera, Teacher, Author, & Founder of EMC2Learning"Michelle Emerson, an educator and leader, offers the necessary guidance to navigate the world of education in and outside of the classroom. Her relatability and easy to implement steps will have every teacher, new and veteran, feeling empowered to tackle the complexity of the profession."- Bridget Spackman, The Lettered Classroom, Central Pennsylvania"First Class Teaching is a breath of fresh air--not written by a self-proclaimed educational expert, but by 'one of us.' In candidly sharing her own classroom experience, Michelle Emerson validates the emotions and challenges that new teachers face, while providing the kinds of helpful tips that would have veteran teachers nodding in agreement."- Shannon Olsen, Author of Our Class is a Family
