A scaffolded field guide for every phase of year one. Tina H. Boogren and Adrienne Turner walk new teachers through six developmental phases of their first years, pairing classroom management and instructional strategies with real teacher wellness practices.Built from the authors’ own first-year experiences. Reflecting on their own beginning-teacher experiences, the authors offer crucial advice, empathy, and practical approaches, not just theory, for the personal side of a teaching career that often goes undiscussed.Updated for today’s new teachers, including neurodivergent educators. This second edition expands instructional strategies and adds tips for neurodivergent educators and wisdom from veteran teachers, so the guide reflects a wider range of first-year experiences.Wellness and instruction, together, not separately. Written by Tina H. Boogren, codirector of Solution Tree’s Wellness Solutions for Educators™, this guide treats sustained career joy and instructional confidence as part of the same job, not two competing priorities.From Solution Tree: invest in your greatest asset. Complements 180 Days of Self-Care for Busy Educators and Solution Tree’s broader Wellness Solutions for Educators™ resources, for new teachers building a sustainable, joyful start to their careers.
