Book description
Stay engaged with your purpose to better serve your students--and yourself In an era of sky-high burnout, Educating with Passion and Purpose gives veteran teachers everything they need to thrive in their profession. This book will help you avoid the disenchantment and frustration that can come from doing the difficult work of K-12 education. You are in this field because you want to make a difference, but you often lack the support you need to do that amid overwhelming demands. Experienced educators themselves, authors Meredith Matson and Rebekah Shoaf speak the truth about what today's teachers confront--and how you can navigate the changing landscape to face the challenges and opportunities we encounter. Inside, you'll find frequent opportunities for self-reflection on the topics that matter most to educators, including race, privilege, wellbeing, mentorship, and how to rise to the social-emotional demands that teaching asks. At a time when many teachers are leaving the field within the first years of their careers, Educating with Passion and Purpose offers you a way forward, so you can nurture your students and professional self. Gain perspective on why you teach and what matters most to you in your career How race and identity influence classroom interactions Learn practical strategies for protecting your social and emotional energy and seeking help from outside the classroom Find a new sense of inspiration in your teaching practice with hands-on activities and tools This book is perfect for teachers with three or more years of experience, and it also offers crucial insights for pre-service educators, staff developers, and experienced teachers looking for ways to avoid pitfalls traditional teacher-training programs do not prepare them for and to overcome career burnout.
