Forty-five teachers representing expertise in all grade levels, K-12, and all subjects areas offer their expertise and insights in the New Teachers Handbook. These teachers, from urban, suburban, and rural school districts around the country, provide firsthand accounts of how to plan lessons that truly motivate students, how to integrate technology into the curriculum, and how to connect classroom studies with the "real world."
The New Teachers Handbook was published by the national, non-profit organization, IMPACT II—The Teachers Network. A prestigious group of educators, including school superintendents and university professors, served as advisors to the classroom teachers who authored the book. The book is a completely revised and updated version of a book that IMPACT II published 10 years ago under the same title. IMPACT II printed three editions of the original book and sold over 30,000 copies. Many school districts purchase the book on an annual basis for all incoming new teachers.
