"Each chapter will focus on a specific evidence-based habit of either personal or professional practice that supports educators to thrive during times of ambiguity, uncertainty and volatility. Real life stories, strategies, and pictures of classrooms from around the country highlight teaching habits that set up students for success and inspire educators to be the best version of themselves in the classroom. Each chapter will end with a space for educators to reflect on how they will plan forward with a specific habit. Chapters introduce and describe each habit in detail to convey their meaning as well as practical applications to the work of teaching. Then chapters provide support with: Vignettes of real-life problems...and their solutions in action Examples from both a secondary and elementary setting Interactive reflection activities to encourage teachers to engage more deeply with the content and plan intentionally for applying their learning to their daily work. At-a-glance charts to provide useful cues and reminders Reproducible templates to guide thinking and plan for action The book is designed for individual reading and professional learning, but can serve well as the focus for study group, a coaching session or series, or in a workshop"--
Its time to shift the narrative teaching should be joyful and teachers can feel successful…even in the face of challenging circumstances.
During a time when many educators are leaving the profession, others have rolled up their sleeves and shined brightly through the challenges and pressures of the tumultuous education landscape. Countless others are just entering the field, eager to contribute and make an impact on the lives of their students. What can we learn from both of these types of teachers? What are the habits we know that enable teachers to be effective no matter the environment? And how do we build and sustain professional and personal practices that help us rise to every challenge? (Because lets face it… there are a lot of challenges!)
