The New Teacher’s Complete Sourcebook
by Bonnie P. Murray
Available from Amazon.com
I found this book after my first year of teaching. Boy, do I wish I had it during my first year!
This book tells you how to set up your classroom, work with parents, set up a discipline plan—basically, how to manage your first year. The book is easy to read all at once, or as a quick reference to help with specific issues.
The best part is a complete schedule for what to do on the first day of school. The author gives a separate schedule for each grade K-4. I adapted it for 5th grade and it worked there, too. I think any elementary teacher can use this book.
I can’t praise this book highly enough. Beginning and experienced teachers will love it.
P.S. Next year, you can loan it to a new teacher!
