Review Quotes:
"This is the book I sorely needed when I began my teaching career. It's easy to imagine the relief and support both brand-new and early career teachers will feel when reading Real Talk for New Teachers. Bishop and Farber address topics that teacher education programs do not necessarily have time to address, ones that become immediately crucial in the early years of the teaching profession."
--Dr. Valerie Bang-Jensen, Author of Literacy Moves Outdoors: Learning Approaches for Any Environment
"This book is so relatable on so many levels. As a first-year teacher, I have left some days exhausted, in defeat, even in tears. This book not only acknowledged my feelings, but offered helpful strategies from people that have actually been through it, and know exactly how I am feeling."
--Jenna Hitchen, first-year teacher
"Real Talk for New Teachers is a MUST for anyone entering the teaching field or in their first years of teaching! This book makes teaching feel "doable" in a holistic manner that starts with the self (living healthily) and moves toward collaborating with others and becoming a leader in the profession."
--Dr. Stacy Simonyi, Assistant Professor of Education at Saint Michael's College
