Real Talk for New Teachers helps beginning teachers develop their vision and orient their practice toward a personally fulfilling, healthy, and sustainable career.

Having a sustainable career goes beyond buzzwords like self-care, and Farber and Bishop provide meaningful ideas for balancing the demands of the profession and getting the most out of it. Topics include managing health, time, and emotions; building community with students and families; collaborating with colleagues; creating an engaging curriculum; and leading a busy classroom.

Each chapter features loads of practical strategies, an approachable, encouraging tone, helpful inspirations, useful resources, space to write and reflect, and, most importantly, guidance to help you develop a personal action plan. Whether you read this book alone or with a mentor, you’ll come away with clear ways to cultivate strong learning communities and practices that support both personal and collective efficacy in this vital profession.
