Hopeful, hilarious musings and serious advice for new teachers from the formerly anonymous blogger behind Love, Teach.

Every teacher will tell you the first years are the hardest, and even the most confident of the pack sometimes ask themselves, Am I cut out for this? Kelly Treleaven, the teacher and once-anonymous blogger behind Love, Teach, wants you to know that you're not alone, and that yes, she has cried under her desk, too. Treleaven's blog has become a sensation in the education world, known for its heartfelt, high-spirited dispatches straight from the trenches and its practical advice.

In Treleaven's debut book, she gives rookie teachers the advice she wishes she'd had when she started out in a large district in Houston. From logistical questions like how to prep and organize a classroom, to deeper issues like how to build relationships with students, navigate administration, and avoid burnout, Love, Teach is an essential book for anyone working in education today or considering the profession. With raw feeling, humor, and a razor-sharp perspective, Love, Teach supports teachers in their fight for a better future, and helps them celebrate the victories, large and small.

Wow

This book made me feel so normal and seen. As a first year teacher, knowing that how I feel is pretty much how everyone feels when they start has been a tremendous help to me. I’m so glad I picked this book up.

Best Teaching Guidance Book Ever!!!

I love how she gave detailed descriptions of scenarios that had happened to her and what she did and the fact that there is so much advice to work with.

Before you quit, listen to this

I came to the teaching profession indirectly and found my place. However, because of personal and professional challenges I found myself about to quit. I was crying when I did a search and found Treleaven’s book. Yes, I was thisclose to crying under my table. Then I listen to this book and applied anything I could to one of my classes that felt impossible to teach. It made a difference in my attitude and that small change has started shifting that class. She is honest and upfront about teaching which hard to find. Thank you for saying out loud the balance truth about teaching.
