Praise for this Resource
“Lifelines to the Classroom reflects many of the ideals for supporting new teachers that we’ve used in Thompson for years. In a time when the appeal of teaching may be at an all time low, it is critical that we provide spiritual and skill improvement support to those courageous enough to enter the profession and serve children.”
Dr. F. Donald Saul, American Association of School Administrators "Superintendent of the Year, 2000"
