Story
Teachers show up in different forms and in many chapters of a child’s life. Teaching is literacy and numeracy, but most importantly, it’s showing up with your whole heart. It’s walking kids - and yourself - through the hardest conversations about trauma, loss, grief, racism, or violence. As we work to piece together our education system in the fallout from the global pandemic, the focus must be on the teachers. If the people in charge - those teachers - aren’t OK, the students don’t stand a chance.

Good, But More of a What Than a How
I thought this was a nice introduction for what those new to teaching have in store for them, but isn't a how-to manual though. To really learn the nuts and bolts of teaching, I think one needs to read a book like The First Days of School. However, this text does offer good advice to the novice and definitely breeds the excitement of that unforgettable first year teaching.
