Why Early Career English Teachers?

I'm glad we are reading "Early Career English Teachers in Action." Just from reading the first chapter, an introduction to the book, I can tell that I'll get a lot of valuable perspective from all the stories from actual new teachers and their experiences.

I'm honestly quite nervous and intimidated for my first time leading a class--but also equally excited. Reading other teachers experiences will help ease my nervousness and help myself mentally and emotionally prepare for the day I step into the classroom as an official teacher for the first time.

I have a friend who has been teaching elementary for a few years now and she shares stories with me, but this book is closer to what I want to do--teach high school English, so it'll be very helpful.
