It's Teacher Talk Tuesday over at Blog Hoppin'. This is a day dedicated to offering helpful advice to new teachers. Being a new teacher can be so very overwhelming. I've read many of the posts, and thought I'd add a small one to the mix.
The best advice I can give to a new teacher is to work first on classroom management. This always seems to be the toughest area. "Tools for Teaching" by Fred Jones is a great resource.

Fred Jones observed "natural" teachers in their classrooms to determine what made their teaching style seem so effortless. How did these exceptional teachers create relaxed learning environments, with students eager, responsible and ready to learn? He looked closely at verbal and non-verbal communication between students and teacher. He found, among other things, that body language speaks volumes! At the Fred Jones site you can download an exerpt of his book. It's most definitely worth a look.
