Writing Hope Found in Uncertain Times is a book written by and for preservice and inservice English language arts teachers and teacher educators looking to share stories and strategies of hope found in educational contexts, leading to a hopefulness in life too. This book is a physical manifestation of hoping aloud and answers intentional hope inquiries including, "How can hope, the action-based hope that moves systems and circumstances forward, be found and grown in vulnerable times through education and writing in ELA classrooms?" Arguably, action-based hope may be one of the most valuable outcomes educational systems can offer students, teachers, staff, and administrators. This collection of research-based, narrative-driven essays is one "hope moment" in time that can lead to other explorations and destinations of hope in education and beyond. Each chapter is a story, with retelling, remembering, and celebrating hope found.

Contributors are: Sean Brady, Emily Carty, Kerrin Denue, Nicole DuBois-Grabkowitz, Lindsey Gordon, Jonathan Hock, Katie Hoffmann, Diana Jones-Sukhram, Elizabeth A. Morphis, Kate Oberg, Cait O'Connor, Kasey O'Connor, Josefa Pace, Jenna Palmeri, Christopher Perkowski, Heather Lynn Rieger, Jake Roche, and Nicole Sieben.
