Better with Nuts: Classroom Survival & Success for New & Developing Teachers, 5th Edition

This book is my teaching bible! Jesse Rizzo Instructional Coach, Queens, NY Carolyn McGown’s book is a “must-read” for future, new, developing, and/or struggling teachers. Within its pages is a vast storehouse of detailed information on how to accomplish every imaginable aspect of proficient performance in a teaching position. Even if we received excellent training, there is the day-to-day minutia and routine tasks that are essential to our success as educators. Somehow, those topics don’t make it into the college curriculum. Carolyn McGown’s book “fills in the blanks” and “connects the dots” . . . offering specific 'what to do' and ‘how to do it’ details, real life day-to-day examples, and down-to-earth practicality. Between the covers of this text is the vast knowledge base of a highly skilled veteran trainer of teachers. This book is a gem. Tom McIntyre, Ph.D. Special Education/Behavior Disorders, Hunter College “Dr Mac,” www.BehaviorAdvisor.com Better with Nuts is the kind of practical, user-friendly guide that new classroom practitioners long for. Drawing on years of experience as a teacher and teacher educator, Ms. McGown gives emerging childhood educators the tool kit they need to create well-managed spaces where children can learn and grow. A must-read for preservice and recently hired teachers. Wayne Reed, PhD Program Head, Childhood Education Brooklyn College Carolyn's book is a common-sense survivor's guide to your first year of teaching and beyond. You learned all the theory in school. Carolyn helps you translate that theory into practice in a way that will enhance your student's learning, creative a positive environment in your classroom, and allow you to get up every morning and do your very best for the children.
