Editorial Reviews

"In 101 Answers for New Teachers and Their Mentors, Annette Breaux has collected a treasure-trove of wisdom gleaned from years of observing what separates highly effective teachers from their peers. The book is filled with practical, real-world examples, hard-earned advice, and is made all the more wonderful by the inclusion of many of Annette's beautiful poems. The title is a complete misnomer and undersells the contents...any teacher, regardless of how long they have been in the classroom, will derive great benefit from reading this book."

--Dave Burgess, New York Times Best-Selling Author of Teach like a Pirate and Co-author of P is for PIRATE: Inspirational ABC's for Educators
