About this book
In How Good Teachers Thrive, the author explores the teaching career as a journey, offering hope and practical strategies to help educators stay grounded in their sense of vocation. While valuable for teachers at all stages, the book is especially helpful for those new to the profession.
In the introduction and first two sections, the author examines the current educational landscape-both the external forces shaping schools and the inner lives of teachers. Drawing on Parker Palmer's language, the text reflects on how educators make meaning of their work.
Section III breaks the journey into three stages: early, mid, and late career. The author connects research on teacher flourishing with broader studies on living and aging well, and includes stories from over 100 teachers about what helps them thrive.
In Section IV, the book emphasizes the importance of community and encourages readers to build a personal support team.
Finally, Section V steps back to reflect on the habits and mindsets that support long-term growth and joy in the profession.
