In this comprehensive handbook, you'll gain a treasure trove of strategies that you can implement to address some of the most common school challenges. You'll see the amazing impact that educators are having on their schools and classrooms across the country.

The authors offer tangible solutions to problems such as teacher retention and the educator pipeline, money, technology, innovation and initiatives, mental health and well-being, data, perceptions of education, educator commitment, and systemic issues. These issues may seem daunting, but the authors share stories of educators across the country who are already overcoming such obstacles. Each chapter provides inspiring examples, action steps, and takeaways to help you improve your school or classroom.

This thorough resource is designed to be a reference that you can use as needed--either by reading in order or flipping to the sections that most apply, and returning to again and again for a wealth of practical ideas that you can bring to your own setting.
