NEW YORK— September 22, 2020—Morgan James’ new release, Classroom Confidential: How I Survived 33 Years in a Public School Classroom…and You Can Too! by Victoria Lucido, is a wisdom-packed manual for new and struggling teachers. Classroom Confidential provides much-needed support to the often overworked, under-appreciated educators who are shaping the nation’s youth and future.
Surveys have found that nearly 30% of all teachers leave the profession within their first five years of teaching. This can be attributed to the many hurdles educators face, from lack of funding and support, to stress of classroom management, to the struggle of finding work-life balance. Award-winning teacher Victoria Lucido not only outlasted this statistic, but she thrived for more than three decades as a teacher. She shares her secrets to success in Classroom Confidential.
Victoria Lucido tells it like it is, giving educators the inside scoop on what they really need to know in order to make it as a teacher. She offers tips on classroom management, lesson planning, professionalism, fitting in with coworkers, and parent-teacher dynamics. Tens of thousands of new teachers enter the field every year. Classroom Confidential: How I Survived 33 Years in a Public School Classroom…and You Can Too! will provide the tens of thousands of new teachers each year with the tools they need to be confident and prepared in the classroom and to enjoy a long, happy career as an educator.
