Its a snapshot of the realities of teaching in todays schools. Adherence to the lessons and suggestions in this book will prepare teachers for the challenges of our profession and equip them with strategies for success. This book also should be used by administrators as a guidepost when recruiting, hiring, and mentoring staff. -- Michael J. Barnes, Assistant Superintendent
Dont Gossip is chock-full of practical strategies and advice, not only for new teachers, but for veteran teachers who value continuous reflection on their own practices.
