These days there are a lot of books aimed at new teachers, but I think you’ll find that “The New Teacher Book” is unique. It explores the challenges new teachers face with an implicit focus on “teaching for social justice,” on the important work of making schools into places where the inequities of society are challenged, not replicated.

It’s easy for new teachers to feel like they have no choice but to “go along” with what author and teacher Gregory Michie describes in this book as “the pull of schooling-as-usual.” But it doesn’t have to be that way. “The New Teacher Book” offers practical advice on how to avoid this trap, and how teachers can connect the passion that led them to teaching with the day-to-day realities of working in a school.
