Developing Educational Leaders A Practical Approach to the First Year of Teaching:
Preparing teachers for the 21st century learning environment requires an approach that incorporates current best
practices and provides critical thinking skills to address continual shifts in educational trends. In the wake of
unparalleled national and state challenges districts have increased their reliance on local solutions. Local
consideration for community demographics, culture, practices, and social needs promote grass roots approaches to
universally shared challenges.
The purpose of this peer-reviewed textbook is to not only provide novice teachers with policy perspectives from the
federal and state level, but more critically to provide perspectives on how federal and state policies influence local
pedagogies. In addition to providing current national and state guidance for novice teachers, each themed chapter of
the textbook will include functional and applicable practitioner-based case studies from schools located in rural,
suburban, and/or urban districts.
