Dispositions Are a Teacher's Greatest Strength will fuel and reignite your classroom practice. Focusing on 13 dispositions specific to teaching, this book encourages educators to identify, reflect, and develop their dispositions, attitudes, and self-awareness to flourish in the profession. Emphasizing pedagogical knowledge and skills, this text serves as an affirmation of a teacher's commitment to challenging, complex and rewarding work. It invites educators to consider what a unique privilege it is to teach-to dive into reading, creating space, and embracing dispositions as a teacher's greatest strength. Each chapter focuses on one of 13 teaching dispositions-such as curiosity, adaptability, gratitude, resilience, and courage-and offers: definitions and contexts for the disposition of focus; concrete applications for teachers to practice and develop dispositions with reader-friendly examples and practical strategies; a "pause and reflect" section with questions and space for professional reflection. This book serves as a love letter to educators everywhere: teachers in K-12, administrators in K-12, higher education faculty, and pre-service programs and students. Dispositions Are a Teacher's Greatest Strength reminds teachers of the significant work they do by putting dispositions at the forefront of their daily work.
