"What They Don't Tell You," is a practical guidebook for beginning teachers. Inside you'll find ways to establish your classroom through strategies and practices that have been seen to work time and time again no matter who your students are. It also provides the educator with questions for reflection, examples of how to foster relationships, and to tips and ways on how to keep your sanity in the craziness of the classroom with practical ideas pertaining to teacher self-care. "What They Don't Tell You," gives the reader/educator a look into the tiny nuances that you otherwise might not be able to see without the benefit of a good veteran educator and/or support system. This offering intends to be the scroll for those who are fresh into the teaching/support staff/administration field. "Whatever you decide, be sure that you engage with your students as they work. There is nothing like a teacher that immerses themselves in the tasks with their students. This is your "in." This is how you begin forging those relationships and building trust with your students." - Chapter 1: Establishing Norms
