"The First-Year Teacher has been the key to easing the stress of being a new educator. I have been a new teacher, transferred to a new school district, and changed grade levels every year since I have been teaching. Success would not have been possible without Karen Bosch’s book. The First Year Teacher provides teachers with all the tools needed to achieve their utmost as an educator. Teachers can earn the praise of the city, their administration, co-educators, and parents by using the strategies taught in this book.
"The First-Year Teacher makes the perfect gift for every new teacher. It is well organized and filled with day to day ideas and activities. It is especially helpful in developing classroom management, which is the most important skill a teacher can have, and it builds confidence just when the new teacher needs it the most.”
"Upon returning to the classroom after a four year break, I found this book to be invaluable! The First-Year Teacher is comprehensive enough to help with everything from applying for a job through wrapping up a successful first year. The easy format used by the authors makes it the go to book every new and returning teacher must own!"

Bosch and Bosch are to be commended for compiling the wisdom gained from their own as well as other teachers’ experiences a
