The New Teacher’s Guide offers timely, best practice, and innovative concepts across ten common challenges:

1. Classroom Management
2. Culturally Responsive Teaching
3. Curriculum and Instruction
4. Differentiation
5. English Learners
6. Professionalism/School Culture
7. Navigating Teacher Evaluation
8. Relationship Building/Communication
9. Student Assessment and Data Literacy
10. Work-Life Balance.

The guide begins with a chapter about remote learning, inspired by educators’ response to the ongoing pandemic. Challenges have never been greater for teachers. In response, this guide provides readers with thought-provoking discourse, as well as access to the website containing practical resources focused on these common challenges.

Each contributing author developed a document related to their article for the reader to download and personalize for classroom use. The website offers access to these resources. Most of them can be used right away. Many can be used to stimulate deeper thinking to enhance student learning. Some can be modified by the user to fit their context. Others can be used as reflective tools.

These resources create the opportunity for the reader to connect with the authors, other accomplished teachers, and peers via social media. This online networking gives new teachers access to communities of practice where they can receive and give support.
