Rethink your teaching practice with six mindset shifts that will transform how you approach the job, ensuring that you can sustain your energy and effectiveness while empowering and supporting learners.Traditional approaches to the practice of teaching are unsustainable. Too many educators are disengaging, burning out, and leaving the profession in response to stressors both inside and outside of schools. And high teacher turnover has a negative effect on our students. In Make Teaching Sustainable, Paul Emerich France explores six mindset shifts that you can implement to improve your educational environment—while also supporting and empowering the students you lead: * Humanity over industry * Collectivism over individualism * Empowerment over control * Minimalism over maximalism * Process over product * Flexibility over fixedness The goal of sustainable teaching is not simply to have teachers do less work, but also to help focus efforts on effective, efficient, and meaningful practices that make learning richer for students. Guided by recent research and interviews with practitioners in the field, France explores how mindset and practice shifts interact with themes of healing, regeneration, vulnerability, partnership, ritual, and simplicity. He also outlines tangible benefits to sustainable teaching, from a reduction in burnout to an increase in student engagement with learning. Whether you're a teacher, coach, or administrator, Make Teaching Sustainable will inspire you to embark on a practicable, action-oriented path to sustainability, ensuring that you can continue to be nurtured, supported, and effective in the profession that you love.
Put the person back in personalization with a touch of humanity. It's a paradox: technology to individualize curriculum has made classrooms less personal. Let's instead trust educators to make learning personal by supporting student agency, self-awareness, and the intimate personal connections found in authentic learning experiences. In the second edition of this groundbreaking book-newly streamlined, and updated with insights from the pandemic-Paul France presents a vision of humanized personalization that rejects the corporate mindset and instead holds equity and inclusion at its center. France leverages over a decade of experience as a National Board Certified Teacher, education consultant, and education technology developer, sharing the following: Practical guidance on designing inclusive learning environments for diverse groups Sustainable applications for humanized personalization in curriculum design, assessment, and instruction Real-life stories from the author's experience on both sides of the personalization debate A multitude of classroom tools, adaptable to a variety of instructional contexts Nobody understands the need for humanizing education better than teachers. While educators across the country have learned that inundating students with personalized learning technologies is not the way to go, many don't know how to personalize learning without them. The time to humanize personalized learning and our classrooms is now-and this book will give you a place to start.
