Writing parents about teachers
Alabama school districts once again will be notifying parents if their child is not being taught by a "highly qualified teacher," as defined by NCLB. According to news report, letter will say: "As of the date of this letter, your child's teacher (name) has yet to complete every requirement of the new federal definition of 'highly qualified.' He/She is, however, currently working to meet the new requirement, and we have full confidence in his/her ability to teach effectively in the current assignment."

Betty Tesh here with a few hints for New Teachers...
You're going to be a great teacher. You've got knowledge, enthusiasm, desire, motivation. What you don't have is experience.
And experience makes the difference between a potentially great teacher and a comfortably great teacher.
We've got over 68 combined years of experience to share, which is what we've done in...
"The Handy-Dandy Desktop Mentor."
No esoteric teaching methods. No field studies or carefully calibrated experiments. Just down-to-earth, helpful hints and suggestions to help you survive your first (few) years as a teacher.
We warn you about common pitfalls, give suggestions for getting along with fellow teachers, toss out a few classroom management techniques, offer advice on dealing with parents, and share secrets on organizing some of that "stuff" you've suddenly acquired.
If what you want is dull, dry treatise on pedagogy, or if you need a heavy meal of ibids and op.cits laced with quotes from learned professors of education, this book's not for you. It's quick and easy reading, a bit light-hearted, but as serious as an air strike about helping you bet the teacher you know you were meant to be.
A handbook for initially licensed, novice and beginning teachers that shares classroom management ideas, tips for getting along with educational personnel, suggestions for dealing with parents, and advice that good mentoring
teachers share for success in the classroom, written with humor by experienced educators.
As a new teacher, you won’t be doing battle with a supreme Evil like Sauron or traveling into the Cracks of Doom like Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee, but like those two Hobbits, you are ‘expected to find a way...’ (Book IV, Chpt. 3) A way to make learning fun, but keep control of the classroom; a way to reach thirty different children with thirty different learning styles, a way to teach whole-heartedly while fielding a barrage of forms, procedures, expectations and instructions.
"The Handy-Dandy Desktop Mentor." is available at my site for New Teachers.
