Produktbeschreibung
Demoralized: Why Teachers Leave the Profession They Love and How They Can Stay offers a timely analysis of professional dissatisfaction that challenges the common explanation of burnout. Based on ten years of research and interviews with practitioners across the United States, education philosopher Doris Santoro theorizes the existence of a "moral center" that can be pivotal in guiding teacher actions and expectations on the job. Featuring the voices of educators, the book offers concrete lessons for practitioners, school leaders, and policy makers on how to think more strategically to retain experienced teachers and make a difference in the lives of students. "Teachers have a critical ally in Santoro, who argues that understanding demoralization is the first step to reclaiming the vitality of teaching. Today's teachers are not burnt out; they are separated from their moral motivations--to the detriment of their students and the impoverishment of the profession." > "Doris Santoro has provided a timely and vital educational intervention. She demonstrates how today's 'accountability' regime undermines the work of dedicated teachers and offers sensible strategies for reversing the damage. Demoralized is imaginatively framed, convincingly argued, and morally serious. I commend it to all who care about teaching and teachers." > "The stories and resources in Demoralized will resonate with teachers as our profession remains under siege. The teachers featured in this book will inspire and empower readers." --José Vilson, teacher, blogger, and author of This Is Not a Test Doris A. Santoro is an associate professor of education and chair of the Education Department at Bowdoin College. David C. Berliner is the Regents' Professor Emeritus at Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College at Arizona State University.
