"This second edition of The New Teacher Book is even better than the first. It's a roadmap that will help new teachers navigate the rough journey of doing right by their students and a reminder to us all that responsible and responsive teaching must be learner-centered and set in the context of vigorous social consciousness." -- Adam Urbanski "President of the Rochester Teachers Association, founding director of the Teacher Union Reform Network"
