"This book should be a prerequisite for every teacher before they are permitted to enter a classroom to help them develop a sense of judgment about how a professional behaves on the job. In fact, teachers with years of experience would also benefit by reading this book, as it would help them to better evaluate their skills and performance in the classroom." -- From the Foreword by Neal Mitchell, Former Professor
"Gill’s conversational tone and nonjudgmental style are perfect for an audience of new teachers. Each chapter is clear, concise, and to the point, a real plus for busy teachers. I wish I had been given a copy of this book when I entered education!" -- Catherine Duffy, English Department Chairperson
"Vickie Gill′s book is full of sound advice that mentors would give to their protégés. However, I enjoyed it as a seasoned veteran. Many of the lessons are things we only learn through experience. The chapters were short, sweet, and to the point. This book should be supplied to every first-year teacher." -- Lois Williams
