"The field of education can be a rewarding, but ever challenging
career. This book is an essential read for new teachers and veteran
teachers alike. The insightful stories that Dr. Joseph Jones has
masterfully chosen as part of the book will inspire a new sense of
resolve and hope for those who are feeling the weight of seemingly
impossible demands placed on teachers. These compelling excerpts
will assist the reader through the maze of uncertainty that many
new teachers face." --Wendi West Veteran Teacher Elementary,
Virginia Under the Bleachers: Teachers' Reflections of What They
Didn't Learn in College is a unique text because the chapters offer
insight into the daily chaos of teaching. The chapters are written
by practicing educators and provide advice to both future educators
and current teachers. It is important to mention, the text is not
an avenue to criticize teacher education programs; rather, the book
opens a dialogic space in which all educators can begin discussing
and reflecting on the realities of the schooling process.
