ABOUT THE ANTHOLOGY

​

Studies show that teacher satisfaction is steadily declining across America. What teachers need most is SUPPORT.

​

Teachers want to be in environments where they are going to be successful with students, where they're getting help to do that, where they have good colleagues, where they're working as a team. What great schools, great principals, and great school teams know is that you support teachers by structuring group collaboration for planning curriculum, by building professional learning communities, by encouraging ongoing inquiry into practice.

​

The schools that build those kinds of environments give teachers continuous opportunities to grow and learn, provide the tools they need to do their job, and enable them to build good relationships with parents so they can work as partners on behalf of the child.

​

Your Child My Student shares stories from the classroom and beyond in hopes of providing insight and inspiration to inform practice at from varying vantage points. These themes include: mental health, mentoring, homeschooling, village mentality, confidence-building, relationship-building, parent communication, cultural sensitivity, working with students on IEP  plans and more.
