Follow-Up: Parent Engagement vs. Parent Involvement is a new short post I’ve written at Education Week.

It briefly explores the roles of parents, teachers and administrators in parent engagement versus parent involvement.

This is just a start for a “The Best…” list with advice for new teachers. I’m hoping readers will contribute a lot more resources.

Here are my choices for where you can get The Best Advice For New Teachers:

Ten Alternative Tips for New Teachers is from Nancy Flanagan at Education Week.

12 Tips for New Teachers is from Larry Miller at Rethinking Schools.

10 Great Reads for New Middle Grades Teachers is from John Norton at Middleweb.

Twenty Tidbits for New Teachers is by Lisa Dabbs at Edutopia.

Roxanna Elden is a great writer and author of See Me After Class: Advice for Teachers by Teachers. Here are some of her excellent articles for new teachers:
