Class Is In Session: The Expectant Teacher Survival Handbook is your hilarious, honest, and slightly unhinged guide to surviving the wild ride of your first years in the classroom.
Forget the Pinterest-perfect classroom dreams—Shantel N. Patt is here to spill the real tea on teaching. From unexpected bodily fluids to bizarre parent emails and that one kid who insists on calling you “mom,” this book covers everything no one warned you about in teacher training.
Packed with laugh-out-loud stories, brutally honest advice, and the occasional moment of “is this even legal?”, Patt walks you through the chaos with humor, heart, and the kind of wisdom that only comes from surviving multiple Monday mornings.
Whether you’re walking into your first classroom or crawling into your third year with coffee in one hand and dry-erase markers in the other, this survival handbook will keep you sane, grounded, and—dare we say—still loving the job.
So grab an apple… or a shot of tequila. (Optional, not required—but highly recommended on parent-teacher conference night.)
Either way, welcome to the teacherhood. It’s about to get really good.
