And teachers, like the rest of the population, aren't perfect. Yet good teaching happens, and great teachers continue to inspire and educate generations of students. See Me After Class helps those great teachers of the future to survive the classroom long enough to become great. Fueled by hundreds of hilarious--and sometimes shocking--tales from the teachers who lived them, Elden provides tips and strategies that deal head-on with the challenges that aren't covered in new-teacher training. Lessons can go wrong. Parents may yell at you. Sunday evenings will sometimes be accompanied by the dreaded countdown to Monday morning. As a veteran teacher, Elden offers funny, practical, and honest advice, to help teachers walk through the doors of their classrooms day after day with clarity, confidence...and sanity! "A useful, empathetic guide to weathering the first-year lumps...a frothy, satisfying Guinness for the teacher's soul."--Dan Brown, NBCT, Director of the Future Educators Association, and author of The Great Expectations School " See Me After Class is a must-have book for any teacher's bookshelf. On second thought, you'll probably want to keep it on your classroom desk since you'll use it so much!"--Larry Ferlazzo, teacher and author of Helping Students Motivate Themselves "This is the kind of no-nonsense straight talk that teachers are starved for, but too rarely get...Roxanna Elden tells it like it is, with a heavy dose of practicality, a dash of cynicism, a raft of constructive suggestions, and plenty of wry humor."--Rick Hess, Director of Education Policy Studies at AEI, author of Education Week blog, "Rich Hess Straight Up" Review: Sobering and empowering - My best friend from high school has been a teacher for more than a decade. Over the years, we've stayed in touch and he suggested that I consider getting my teaching certification and become a teacher. His words: "You'd be a great high school or middle school English teacher." It piqued my interest and I had considered it in the past. So I've started the research portion. I've already requested my transcripts from my undergrad schools so I can apply to a teaching cert program. The actual application to the program is still sitting around here somewhere waiting for me to fill out and submit. After reading this book (which I did in a day) I find myself NOT searching for that application. I still intend to go through with it but my zeal has now been tempered with realistic expectations. A week ago, it was all about fantasizing about the Mr. Holland's Opus moments that I'll be living out. After this book, I'm now taking a careful inventory of myself just to make sure I have what is needed to actually DO the job of teaching. This book, (hilarious at some points; had to catch my breath after laughing so hard) is exactly what the author says it is in the first chapter. A realistic view of the teaching profession in America. I feel it somewhat inoculated me against naive pitfalls and armed me to do an important job. At the end of the book, I realize it's not about me living the Stand and Deliver fantasy. It's about the students. At the end of the book, I am left with the realization that there are millions of kids in this world, and they all need at least one good teacher at some point in their lives. If I plan to be that, I can't let the harsh realities of the profession surprise and demoralize me. I can now go into it prepared to conduct myself with a professional work ethic. My Lean On Me delusions are now in their proper place; right next to my NFL Quarterback fantasies. I am now ready to devote myself to making a meaningful contribution to this world and don't need a credit roll at the end to motivate me. Wonderful book. Thanks. Review: A Real Life-Saver (and Awesome File System Suggestions!) - I only found this book during the summer after my first year of teaching, but I think it is actually better that way. I think 90% of this book would have seemed like nonsense to me had I read this last summer at this time. Now, I see so much truth in everything she (and the other teachers) wrote in this book. That is, of course, not to say that I have no need for this book. I see so much of myself and my past year on each page, and to ward off some of those problems from repeating themselves this year, I will certainly be implementing her advice. I cannot say enough about how excited I am to try her suggested filing system. The system is simple and comprehensive, and I am betting that it will help me feel much more organizationally-empowered this year!! Hers is a book I will return to again and again for the next few years. I found myself wondering "Will I ever know enough to write such a thorough book like this about teaching, or will I always be the one hunting down books like this?!" Oh, and thank goodness it is not one of those sappy *ahem* There Are No Shortcuts-esque books that just leave me feeling like I'm wrecking a sacred profession. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #315,302 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #829 in Educational Certification & Development #2,338 in Education Theory (Books) #3,006 in Instruction Methods | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 309 Reviews | ## Images ![See Me After Class: Advice for Teachers by Teachers - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61eei4kV0AL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sobering and empowering *by S***A on May 9, 2011* My best friend from high school has been a teacher for more than a decade.

This book is funny and honest. The content is excellent. Did I mention honest? This book thoroughly covers it all: the braggers, slackers, oblivious, perfectionists, the good and bad, and even the classic 'inept administrators.' Tons of advice that would fit a wide range of experience levels - strategies for teaching, professionalism, and social interactions. Great for new teachers, and for those who have experience already - it will get your wheels turning on where and how to improve. Are you a perfect, expert teacher? Great! This will help you be a better colleague and mentor to younger teachers. I couldn't put this book down, and I am no longer a teacher (private industry now). Hopefully that speaks to the humor and charm of this book and not to my extremely lame use of free time :) Cheers! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ec/products/2220092-see-me-after-class-advice-for-teachers-by-teachers](https://www.desertcart.ec/products/2220092-see-me-after-class-advice-for-teachers-by-teachers) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ecuador* *Store origin: EC* *Last updated: 2026-08-25*
