Launch a Teaching Career: Secrets for Aspiring Teachers is undoubtedly the very best book of its' kind. For current teacher candidates, it is the bible for launching your career. Dr. Leibman not only lists and explains all the very best ways to get your first teaching position, but he describes what new teachers can and must do in order to begin their careers in the most successful way.

a Teaching Career: Secrets for Aspiring Teachers is an insightful blending of idealism and practical common sense. Dr. Leibman has made an important contribution to those interested in making teaching a career path.
Dr. Leibman has a true love of teaching and, as a teacher of teachers, has found the formula for new teachers to get jobs and be successful and effective in those jobs. This book is a step-by-step guide for anyone seeking a teaching position. Read it all the way through and then refer to it often throughout your job search.
This is an excellent guide providing all of the steps that you need to take to become a teacher. Dr.
Leibman has covered all the bases in providing a dynamic, step-by-step analysis for entry and success in the field of pedagogy.
Dr. Leibman is a dedicated educator with a wealth of experience as teacher, administrator and professor. His book reflects an accumulation of considerable knowledge and is a must-read for anyone pursuing a career in teaching.
Early on in his new book Peter Leibman states: 'I wrote this book because I believe there is no more rewarding career than being a teacher.' This remark sums up my experience of Peter, and of the book: honest, direct, disarming in his passion for teaching as a profession and for his students as people who deserve full, rewarding careers. He brings to bear extensive research and data that support his contention that teaching, far from a fading career path, is actually on the cusp of a wonderful transformation. But, his contribution is rooted not in those numbers, but in his enthusiasm for his profession and his persistent drive to help people dream for themselves, and then to lay out practical paths to achieve those dreams.
Passionate educator and mentor Peter Leibman provides a comprehensive road map for securing a teaching position for anyone interested in a career in education. Each chapter of Launch a Teaching Career: Secrets for Aspiring Teachers describes the considerations and actions necessary for becoming a teacher, from pre-service advice to networking and interviewing, to contemplating next steps once employed whether entering the job market through a traditional preparation program or earning certification as a career changer. At a time of shrinking school budgets and competitive hiring practices, Leibman's thorough and compassionate approach to securing a teaching job makes this book and invaluable resource.
