This book is THE largest collaborative educational publishing project EVER to take place on the planet. While the bold and striking title may appear to be "anti-teacher," it is exactly the opposite! We celebrate the teaching profession by highlighting 100 areas of deep, honest and no-nonsense improvement that can take place at any school, anywhere, anytime. Over 100 authors uncover obstacles that teachers face at some point in their career, but may not have felt equipped or had the courage to address thoughtfully and stratgegically. This is our chance to highlight the magnificence of teaching and showcase the beauty and purpose of learning. Schools and school districts spend enormous amounts of tiem training teachers, creating personnel policies and handbooks for teachers that, inadvertently, sugarcoat and dance around difficult topics that we are burning to address, but never do, . . . until NOW!
Imagine launching every school year with discussions surrounding core beliefs about teaching and HOW to handle all sorts of school related nonsense. High achieving and culturally healthy schools are equipped to facilitate courageous conversations that are laser focused on student achievement, transformative practices and positive interactions. The aim of all 100 chapters is to unite and empower every teacher on their journey to become a dynamic, synergistic, five-star educator. . . because our students are counting on US!
