There's no reason to leave education, because teacher burnout just got hacked! Teachers often face challenges that throw off their entire plans and leave them feeling isolated and powerless. These challenges can range from new technologies, classroom discipline, sudden change to hybrid or distance learning, and unforeseen personal crises-issues that smolder until a teacher is fully burned out with no spark in sight. Could this describe you now or in the future? In Hacking Teacher Burnout, veteran classroom teacher, podcaster, and Google trainer Amber Harper shares an eight-step process that guides teachers out of burnout and into a lasting, empowered feeling of being a burned-in teacher-fulfilled, happy, efficient, and effective in the classroom and in life. Harper helps teachers and leaders overcome incredible challenges and frustrations, and shows you how to: ✓ Discover your burnout type (everyone has a type?) ✓ Take actions that are best for you, depending on your burnout type ✓ Move through burnout rather than fight against it ✓ Make time for things that bring you growth and joy ✓ Thrive-not just survive-personally and professionally ✓ Prepare for hardship before it hits and conquer it when it does Teachers are leaving the profession at shockingly high rates, because they are angry, sad, and just burned-out. You don't have to join this burnout club. Instead, read Hacking Teacher Burnout today, and get Burned-in.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A groundbreaking history of 175 years of American education that brings the lessons of the past to bear on the dilemmas we face today—and brilliantly illuminates the path forward for public schools. “[A] lively account." —New York Times Book Review In The Teacher Wars, a rich, lively, and unprecedented history of public school teaching, Dana Goldstein reveals that teachers have been embattled for nearly two centuries. She uncovers the surprising roots of hot button issues, from teacher tenure to charter schools, and finds that recent popular ideas to improve schools—instituting merit pay, evaluating teachers by student test scores, ranking and firing veteran teachers, and recruiting “elite” graduates to teach—are all approaches that have been tried in the past without producing widespread change.

The definitive career guide for grad students, adjuncts, post-docs and anyone else eager to get tenure or turn their Ph.D. into their ideal job Each year tens of thousands of students will, after years of hard work and enormous amounts of money, earn their Ph.D. And each year only a small percentage of them will land a job that justifies and rewards their investment. For every comfortably tenured professor or well-paid former academic, there are countless underpaid and overworked adjuncts, and many more who simply give up in frustration. Those who do make it share an important asset that separates them from the pack: they have a plan. They understand exactly what they need to do to set themselves up for success. They know what really moves the needle in academic job searches, how to avoid the all-too-common mistakes that sink so many of their peers, and how to decide when to point their Ph.D. toward other, non-academic options. Karen Kelsky has made it her mission to help readers join the select few who get the most out of their Ph.D. As a former tenured professor and department head who oversaw numerous academic job searches, she knows from experience exactly what gets an academic applicant a job. And as the creator of the popular and widely respected advice site The Professor is In, she has helped countless Ph.D.’s turn themselves into stronger applicants and land their dream careers. Now, for the first time ever, Karen has poured all her best advice into a single handy guide that addresses the most important issues facing any Ph.D., including: -When, where, and what to publish -Writing a foolproof grant application -Cultivating references and crafting the perfect CV -Acing the job talk and campus interview -Avoiding the adjunct trap -Making the leap to nonacademic work, when the time is right The Professor Is In addresses all of these issues, and many more.
