Imperfect Heroes : Teaching in Challenging Times to Motivate Student Achievement, Hardback Book

Imperfect Heroes : Teaching in Challenging Times to Motivate Student Achievement Hardback

Hardback

Description

Imperfect Heroes is intended to help teachers flourish during challenging times.

The book is written for all educators, but especially those who seek renewal in their ability to help students learn and grow.

Included are the inspiring and motivational stories of twelve "Teaching Heroes." Successful leaders, writers, and artists face challenges strikingly similar to obstacles faced by teachers.

Iconic individuals often use life hardships as a springboard to achieve higher levels of effectiveness.

Teachers can do this, too. Personal, career, and relational roadblocks are universal, and much can be learned from how heroes have turned trials into successes.

The main idea of this book is that learning about the lives of people different from ourselves can provide large benefits.

The application of ideas from new and divergent sources to our teaching practices can result in transformative growth in our ability to help others learn.

Teachers can use the hero stories intertwined with classroom examples to gain confidence, motivate students, and renew their commitment to making a positive contribution to the world.
