Hi Ashley. My name is Leon Avrech in San Jose Calif. I am a retired middle school teacher, mentor teacher, vp, and principal. I was in middle school for 37 yrs teaching 8th grade US History and principal for 15 years. I am passionate about helping new teachers. I have written a book, "THINK YOU CAN TEACH? A SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR NEW MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHERS". It is available for $10. from amazon.com, ebooks, barnesandnoble.com and xlibris.com Please tell your colleagues and those reading this post,to let new teachers and those planning to teach about my book. And yes, I miss it very much. Teaching can be fun as you know. I want other teachers to be successful. Topics include classroom management, lesson plans, parents night, evaluations, yard duty and more. Thank you and the rest of you lucky people. I retired at 62.
