About this book
How Good Teachers Thrive:Flourishing Long Term in a Noble Profession offers teachers hope by outlining ways to think about and fulfill their teaching vocations. The book opens by surveying some of the ways the non-teaching public and teachers themselves view and talk about teachers and teaching. To help teachers think about their work in new ways, it offers some new and unusual metaphors for the central activities of teaching and teachers' work. It addresses some of the specific challenges novice, mid-career, and veteran teachers face, then suggests strategies and practices to help them carry out their day-to-day teaching tasks in ways that nourish and sharpen their sense of vocation. These suggested strategies have their sources in educational research, interviews conducted with senior educators, and written responses to questions sent to mid-career educators. In the end, the book goes over the dispositions, strategies, systems, and practices typically associated with long-term flourishing in the teaching profession to help teachers who want to thrive inside and outside their school buildings.
