The first few years of teaching are critical to the professional
development of effective English teachers. In these crucial years,
new teachers establish their identities, learn the ins and outs of
the curriculum, acclimate to unfamiliar communities, and cope with
student behaviors that they never expected. All of this can be
daunting for novice teachers. This book can help. The stories
within are written by English teachers in the early stages of their
careers. In their carefully crafted narratives, teachers offer
practical strategies, professional insights, and a wealth of tips
for surviving the first years in the classroom. The narratives are
grouped into thematic chapters with brief introductions of key
terms, helpful learning activities, and provocative discussion
questions, all intended to foster critical conversation about
beginning a career teaching English.
In a time when many teachers leave the profession too soon,
"Early Career English Teachers in Action "gives voice to those who
have decided to stay. More importantly, this book validates teacher
narratives as a powerful way of understanding what happens inside
of the classroom a way that provides more authentic evidence of
learning than standardized test scores will ever supply. "
