HOW WAS YOUR DAY AT SCHOOL?
Improving Dialogue about Teacher Job Satisfactionby Nathan Eklund, M.Ed.
The influence of the classroom teacher is the most important factor in predicting student success. Sadly, excellent teachers continue to leave the profession at an alarming rate. What can your school do to retain high-quality educators?
Founded on the strength-based approach of Developmental Assets, this book offers:
• Conversational advice and practical strategies for avoiding teacher burnout;
• Discussion questions to enhance the teacher/administrator relationship; and
• A CD-ROM of reproducible handouts and a multimedia presentation to transform the dialogue about teacher job satisfaction in your school.
When every stakeholder in the school environment is empowered to take action, teacher job satisfaction becomes a win-win situation, resulting in a supportive workplace climate that sustains educators in their pursuit of higher student achievement.2008, 7´´ x 10´´, 164 pages, includes CD-ROM with reproducible pages, softcover.

If I ask for help, I might appear needy or deficient in my work. If I don’t ask for help, I can’t do my job as well. I always have to put students’ needs first. If I put my needs first, I’ll help myself be a better educator. Our school doesn’t have the resources to make the changes I’d like to see. What’s one thing I can do differently today that will be a step toward the changes I desire? Teaching has completely taken over my life. Teaching is a balanced and rewarding piece of my larger sense of identity.
