Now in paperback! The must-have survival book for new teachers.

“You know how you’ve always thought that if you were a teacher, you’d go insane? Well, this very funny book proves that you definitely would. But in a good way.”

—Dave Barry

Teaching, a profession with one of the highest attrition rates in the nation, is often stressful and relentlessly demanding—but it doesn’t have to be. In See Me After Class, veteran teacher Roxanna Elden inspires with no-nonsense advice, hang-in-there encouragement, and a healthy dose of humor, while directly addressing the challenges teachers face. Elden shares anecdotes and horror stories from more than 100 long-time educators from across the country that will have teachers laughing and crying.

Teachers at all stages of their career will be grateful for Elden’s abundant tips on dealing with impossible workloads, demanding parents, and many other frustrations. Complete with FAQs, classroom shopping lists, organization and time management tips and traps, and practical advice on what to do when everything seems to be going wrong, See Me After Class is the one book no teacher should be without.

Learning Mode
In the learning mode, Telly teaches time in five minute increments. Kids are able to move Telly’s hands; Telly then says the time aloud and updates the digital readout on the LCD screen. One satisfied customer said, “The finest attribute of this clock is that it not only has a digital reading but manually teaches numbers on the face. Technological advances have, in many instances, diminished children’s desire, drive and discipline to learn varied approaches to cognitive thinking. Telly ‘speaks’ the time so a child can relate to the numbers and, at the same time, can look at the digital readout displayed below. “

Quiz Mode
After your child has a basic understanding of how to read time, he/she can switch Telly to the quiz mode. In the quiz mode, Telly asks your child to move the hands on its face to match the time displayed on its screen. The product is designed to be encouraging for younger children. Even if the child gets the answer wrong, he/she will have another chance to get it right (three chances total). Additionally, Telly will tell children the time that they have pointed to so that they learn from their mistakes along the way.
