From July-August, 2002. As a new school year approached and many excited but nervous new teachers joined the Listserv looking for support, MiddleWeb editor John Norton asked the Listserv's veteran teachers to share some of their hard-earned wisdom. The responses - even the disagreements -benefited new and experienced teachers alike. If you're a new teacher or working with new teachers, don't miss this one!
