Dr. Sherry L. Meinberg’s RECESS IS OVER! No Nonsense Strategies and Tips for Student Teachers and New Teachers is for every student teacher and new teacher wishing to know the ins and outs of teaching. This guide is informative, filled with tips and don’t-even-think-of-doing-this admonitions, from what (not) to wear in the classroom to what (not) to say when you’re interviewing with the principal.

Recent Reviews
“RECESS IS OVER! by Dr. Sherry L. Meinberg is a must-read for all teachers, whether they are in the student teaching phase or serving as a master teacher. It is a great reminder book for the veteran teacher. It also reaffirms the enormous responsibility that falls to the teaching profession and should be taken very seriously by those beginning in the field to teachers that have been serving as long as this reviewer (thirty-five years).” - Joyce M. Gilmour "Copy Editor and Book Reviewer"

“As a teacher educator, this little book has been a life saver for my student teachers. Everything in it is common sense. Because student teachers lack experience, they don't know everything they need to know to get along in schools. The author gives short pieces of good advice about a variety of topics. The book is now required reading for those I supervise.” - Kathleen M. Pittman "Professor"
