This book unpicks the complex, dynamic blend of individuals'
psychological and professional assets, workplace conditions and
leadership support which enable teachers who stay in teaching to
continue to make a difference in their careers, regardless of
shifts in policy, workplace, professional and personal
circumstances. Whilst much has been written over the years about
teacher stress and burnout, there is very little research which
reports on the conditions which are essential for teachers to
sustain their commitment and effectiveness over their professional
lives, in contexts of challenge and change. Drawing upon a range of
educational, psychological, socio-cultural and neuro-scientific
research, together with vivid accounts from teachers in a variety
of primary and secondary schools internationally, and from their
own research on teachers' work and identities, the authors discuss
the dynamic nature, forms and practices of teacher resilience. They
argue that resilience in teachers is not only their ability to
bounce back in extremely adverse circumstances but that it is the
capacity of teachers for everyday resilience which enables them to
sustain their commitment and effectiveness in responding positively
to the unavoidable uncertainties inherent of their professional
lives. The authors conclude that resilience in teachers can be
nurtured by the intellectual, social and organisational
environments in which teachers work and live, rather than being
simply a personal attribute or trait, determined by nature.
Resilient Teachers, Resilient Schools will be of key interest to
policy makers, head teachers, teachers and training and development
organisations who wish to improve quality and standards in schools.
