Elevating the essential work of today's teachers. Teaching is life-giving work, essential for the development of thriving humans. It is devastating to hear teachers refer to themselves as just teachers
as if they are powerless and without status. What if we turned the phrase's meaning upside-down and claimed its redemptive power? Just teachers
care for each student. Teachers who are just cultivate freedom, justice, and flourishing. This book will have readers just teaching
in the best sense of the phrase! This book has been written for teachers who want to develop the best ways to serve students based on research on how students learn. The volume shows how to use appropriate tools, based on the wisdom of generations of educators, in a focused, sustainable way. Readers will find: evidence-based practices to support student feedback, engagement, and wellbeing (for students and teachers, too); case studies from familiar classroom perspectives; useful technology suggestions; and solutions tools for building an overarching approach to meeting the needs of individual students. By addressing feedback, engagement, and well-being in ways that are founded on justice and love for students, this title supports comprehensive, manageable learning while elevating the essential work of educators.
