From the author:“Hello future Alaska teachers! I have more than 25 years of teaching experience, including teaching in rural, remote Alaska. Please trust me when I say that living in rural Alaska requires a very unique skill set. Almost every part of your life – your housing, your shopping, your clothing, your healthcare – will be different from what you've experienced in other parts of the country.“I wrote this book to help you make a smooth transition to rural Alaska teaching. You'll learn how to buy food when the nearest grocery store is 100 miles away. You'll learn what clothes you'll need to stay warm and dry when the temperature dips below zero. I share a proven way for transporting your clothes and household goods to remote Alaska. Do you know the important questions to ask a school district recruiter before signing the contract?“This is the book that I was looking for when I first moved to rural Alaska. I didn't find it, so I decided to write it myself! Now, you can learn from my experience. Best wishes.” --Wally RoseNote: Wally Rose is a pseudonym used by an Alaska teacher who wishes to maintain his privacy.
