Trade Review'This book offers a variety of practical advice on all aspects of school life...many of its hints and survival tips are practical and will offer a 'first year' teacher the reassurance that other have felt like they feel and it is survivable.' ~ Jocelyn Sumner, ACT website -- Jocelyn Sumner
'Best of the straightforward list bunch is Laura-Jane Fisher's 100 Ideas for Surviving Your First Year in Teaching....Fisher's style is one of reassurance rather than finger-wagging, and much of her advice is eminently sensible.' -- Geoff Barton * TES *
