Description
This book is designed to equip and inspire current educators and those considering the profession of teaching as they seek to positively impact student lives for years to come. In an age where fewer and fewer educators view teaching as a lifelong profession, this book provides practical strategies for not only surviving, but thriving as a teacher. This book outlines a transformative framework that empowers educators to foster a learning community built upon the strengths of students, their parents, colleagues, community members, and ultimately the strengths of the teachers themselves
