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 for everyday resilience which enables them to sustain their commitment and effectiveness in responding positively to the unavoidable uncertainties inherent in their professional lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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. \u003ci\u003eResilient Teachers, Resilient Schools\u003c\/i\u003e will be of key interest to policymakers, headteachers, teachers, and training and development organisations who wish to improve quality and standards in schools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47607504601324,"sku":"9780415818933","price":365.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780415818933-resilient-teachers-resilient-schools.jpg?v=1778168803"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/qing-gu.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
