Ensuring teachers matter : where to focus first so students matter most / Shelly Wilfong, Ryan Donlan.

Wilfong, Shelly. (Author). Donlan, Ryan A., 1967- (Added Author).

Summary:

"Teachers are critical to student success, but the profession of teaching is in crisis. In Ensuring Teachers Matter: Where to Focus First So Students Matter Most, Shelly Wilfong and Ryan Donlan remind us that supporting students does not mean we cannot support teachers, and they argue that a sense of mattering, or feeling meaningfully significant, is the key to this support. Drawing from original research, the authors introduce eight essential elements that schools need to have for teachers to feel that they matter"-- Provided by publisher.
