Let's face the facts. Between the hustle and bustle of public schools, the shortage of mentor teachers, and the theory-based instruction of most graduate school programs, alternatively licensed teachers are forced to learn the practical components of teaching on the battlefield called the classroom. Because the average 2nd career teacher lacks the practical skills to properly set up their classroom, they quickly find themselves plagued with academic and behavioral problems long before they know what to do with them. Sadly, this generally marks the beginning of the end for far too many of these teachers.
Prevention Before Intervention: A Quick Start Guide for Provisionally Licensed Teachers is a practical, hands-on tool designed to quickly equip 2nd career teachers with the practical knowledge and skills to seamlessly develop a classroom management plan, write superior lessons, understand the nuances of collaborating with parents, and recognize the differences between the regular and special educator, among other things. A real must-have!

Student Recommendations:
"Prevention Before intervention, A Quick Start Guide for Provisionally Licensed Teachers is an "attention grabber" This is a book that will hold a reader's attention and interest because the information is just what is needed for anyone starting out in the field. This book is well written, it prepares you, it is real, it equips you. I must honestly say I don't enjoy reading, I only read if I have to, but this book got my attention because the information is relevant for today's future [special education] teachers. This book gave me hope that I can make it in this field simply because of what is written inside, it will be my teacher's manual ( a tool kit). Thank you, Dr. Christina Christian for sharing your heart with us, keep on writing you are making a difference, you are what the special education field needs right now!"
"As a second career teacher, I found PREVENTION BEFORE INVENTION to be an incredibly practical resource and companion for my new teaching career. This book is a clear-eyed look at the state of teaching today. It provides real world strategies for dealing with real classrooms and students rather than perfect world scenarios. Dr. Christian anticipates problems that will arise and offers a plethora of ways to either avoid or solve them. I have already begun to incorporate many of the strategies illustrated here in my own classroom."
"I would recommend the book, Prevention before Intervention, by Dr. Christian for second-career teachers because of the content it provided. Considering I earned my bachelors in elementary education, there was a lot of valuable information I was able to take away from this book and apply it directly to my classroom. I found the information regarding classroom management and the advice offered with regards to behavioral management to be the most beneficial. The content and class itself would help better prepare students in the teaching program before entering the classroom."
"I would recommend this book to second career teachers, because it covers many points about what teachers need to run successful classrooms, and it's up to date with current trends relating to UDL practices!"
"I would recommend this book for second-career teachers like me, because of the language. The book is written in laymen's terms with technical jargon that helps us connect teaching to real-world context that makes it easier to understand."
