Why We Stay supports educators who hope to sustain themselves for the long haul in their teaching practice.
The book uncovers the secrets of educators who don't just survive their teaching jobs, they deeply enjoy their day-to-day work with students. It offers an innovative framework to help you revive your commitment to your work, renew your belief in your potential impact, and revamp your practice with energizing strategies. Drawing from a qualitative study of nine veteran educators in a high-need urban school, the book shares powerful insights through an appreciative inquiry approach. Rather than dwelling on challenges, it explores 'What is working well?,' uncovering authentic stories of hope, resilience, and joy.
Whether you're a new teacher looking to set the stage for lasting success or a seasoned veteran hoping to revitalize your practice, this book provides the practical wisdom, evidence-based strategies, and heartfelt inspiration you need to rediscover the joy and purpose that brought you to education in the first place.
