The "New York Times" bestselling author and world-renown teacher offers no-nonsense wisdom for teachers of all ages
There s no one teachers trust more to give them classroom advice than Rafe Esquith. After more than thirty years on the job, Esquith still puts in the countless classroom hours familiar to every dedicated educator. But where his "New York Times" bestseller "Teach Like Your Hair s on Fire "was food for a teacher s mind, "Real Talk for Real Teachers" is food for a teacher s soul.
Esquith candidly tackles the three stages of life for the career teacher and offers encouragement to see them through the difficult early years, advice on mid-career classroom building, and novel ideas for longtime educators. With his trademark mix of humor, practicality, and boundless compassion, Esquith proves the perfect companion for teachers who need a quick pick-me-up, a long heart-to-heart, or just a momentary reminder that they re not alone."
