“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.” —Maya Angelou

Adversity is all around us. Although we can't always avoid it, we can prepare ourselves and our students to respond in a healthy and hopeful way.

Teaching and Learning in the Face of Adversity is a practical and heartfelt book that empowers educators with applicable strategies to respond to challenges, inspire students, and foster a positive school environment. The authors share the critical skills that educators and students can cultivate to elevate the ability to respond to barriers, challenges, and setbacks, plus:

-

Practical strategies, insights, and reflection prompts

- Menus of practices to promote student agency, belonging, relationships, and repair harm

- The voices of real teachers, students, and educational leaders

- The range of challenges that can arise in our work and effective ways to respond

Adversity may be ever-present, but with the resources in this book, we can empower ourselves, our colleagues, and our students to persevere in the face of it.
