By Chad Ostrowski, Tiffany Ott, Rae Hughart and Jeff Gargas
Are you ready to Teach Better?
The Teach Better mindset infuses a purposeful, personal dedication to teaching better today than you did yesterday--and teaching better tomorrow than you did today. It's not about comparing yourself to colleagues down the hall or the creative minds you've connected with on social media. This mindset is all about your commitment to be your best self and reach your students in more meaningful ways than you ever imagined.
In this book, members of the Teach Better team share their personal journeys as well as stories from other amazing educators who share a vision to be better every day.
Packed with practical tips and strategies you can implement right away in your career as well as larger shifts you can make in your own journey, Teach Better provides a roadmap to experiencing growth in a whole new way.
