Synopsis
A simple look at different kinds of teachers and the work that they do.
Joyce Rice - Children's Literature
Good teachers are kind and friendly, always interested in learning, and always busy. Thus begins the introduction to a rewarding career in education. Readers learn what kind of education it takes to become a teacher, what a teacher does during the day, and how a teacher prepares for the school day. People who teach outside of the classroom such as a music teacher and dance teacher are also included in this exploration. This is an excellent book for beginning career exploration with young children. Classroom teachers may want to develop a unit about careers using these books as the starting point. It is part of the "Wonder Books" series of nonfiction, grade level readers. Six titles are included in this portion of the series at level three, with a glossary, an index, and references. Other books in the series cover American landmarks, events in U. S. History, and values. 2003, The Child's World,
