ENGLISH TEACHER’S SURVIVAL GUIDE

By Mary Lou Brandvik. “To regain or maintain the idealism that caused us to become teachers,” states the author, “we need to manage and organize our professional lives in such a way that we also have time for ourselves, our families, and our lives outside the classroom.” This resource not only helps English teachers systematize and coordinate a variety of classroom activities, but also offers advice on dealing with parents and administrators and avoiding burnout. Includes a plethora of reproducible worksheets with suggested student activities, mini-lessons, and grading strategies that will allow teachers to move smoothly forward from the beginning of the school year to the last day of classes.
