Skip Years of Painful Trial and Error With the Exact Scripts and Systems That Create Classroom Control Instantly
by Dr Richard P Toney
You can avoid the 47 devastating mistakes that force 40% of new teachers to quit within five years...without learning them the painful way through trial and error.
I spent my first year making every rookie mistake in the book - from the parent email that triggered a principal meeting to the classroom management disaster that had students walking all over me by October.
But here's what changed everything: I started tracking exactly which mistakes were killing promising teaching careers and developed a roadmap to help new teachers sidestep these hidden landmines completely.
After mentoring over 200 first-year teachers, I discovered that the ones who thrived weren't necessarily more talented - they just knew which traps to avoid and had the exact scripts to handle difficult situations before they exploded.
This book gives you the insider knowledge that education school never taught you and the real-world solutions that actually work when you're facing 25+ students who are testing every boundary you set.
Inside you will find...
...The fatal first-day mistakes that create behavior problems lasting all year (and the exact scripts to establish authority while showing you care).
...The empty threat trap that teaches students to ignore everything you say (plus the quiet techniques that actually get respect).
...The parent email phrases that trigger angry complaints to your principal (and word-for-word scripts that build trust instead).
...The discipline disasters that turn students into permanent enemies (and de-escalation techniques that solve problems while maintaining relationships).
...The staff meeting mistake that labels you 'difficult' before Halloween (and how to navigate teacher politics without getting burned).
...The lesson planning trap that wastes hours creating activities that fall apart (plus the streamlined template that actually engages students).
...The grading mistakes that create more problems than they solve (and feedback systems students actually use to improve).
...The technology fails that make you look unprepared (and bulletproof backup plans that save your lessons).
...The special situations that catch new teachers off guard (from IEP compliance to substitute disasters you can prevent).
...The end-of-year mistakes that ruin everything you built (and how to maintain standards when everyone wants summer to start).
This isn't another theory-heavy education book filled with feel-good inspiration.
It's your practical survival guide with step-by-step procedures, exact phrases to use in tough situations, and real examples of what happens when things go wrong (so you can spot the warning signs).
You'll have specific strategies you can implement immediately - not someday when you figure it all out.
If you want to create a classroom where students actually learn and respect you without surviving years of painful trial-and-error mistakes...then click the ADD TO CART button, read the book, and see for yourself!
