       and inspiration for new (and veteran) teachers  This 
       beautifully designed book is a celebration of the joys and
       challenges of the teaching life. Author and veteran 
       educator Coleen Armstrong is a wise, witty, and caring 
       mentor. Her words of encouragement will resonate with new 
       teachers, with students in teacher education schools, and 
       with veteran teachers who wish to remember that they are 
       not alone in an often lonely profession. From lesson plans
       to large classes; salaries to student engagement; germs to
       geometry-learning (or remembering) to love both the highs 
       and lows of the profession has never been easier, or more 
       fun.    Contains a wealth of wise, humorous, and practical
       advice for all teachers  Includes over 150 tips, 
       suggestions, and ideas  Co-published with Inspiring 
       Teachers, a teacher-created organization"--Provided by
