How did we let teacher burn-out happen, and what can we do about it
– before it's too late? This brave and disruptive book accurately
defines the problems of low teacher morale and offers systemic,
future-proof and realistic solutions to bringing hope, energy and joy
back to the profession. The simple answer is staring us in the face:
increase teacher agency. Our rallying cry: our profession needs a
return to values of humanity, pride, and professionalism. From
research literacy to a collective voice, better CPD to smarter
accountability, contributors to this book demonstrate the huge scope
for increased teacher influence at every level of the education
sector. Education voices including Sam Twiselton, Alison Peacock,
David Weston and Andy Hargreaves, supported by a broad range of
academics and policy makers, vouch for increased teacher agency and
stronger, more powerful networks as a means of improving practice,
combatting teacher disillusionment, and radically improving UK
education. This text offers an exciting and hopeful perspective on
education; urging teachers to work together to ‘flip the system’
and challenging policy makers to help… or get out of the way.
