Preface

I've had a tough time learning how to be a teacher and have worked in five different public and private schools in Canada and the US. This guide is a sums up the really important things I wish somebody had told me before I started.

Things new teachers ponder at 1 a.m.

• What traits do you need to become an excellent teacher?
• Classroom discipline troubles
• How to find a job
• Should I work in a public or private school?
• Miscellanous advice and teacher jokes
