Teach With Confidence - Five Domains for Managing Life in Classrooms

Teach with Confidence aims to inspire new teachers to trust their ability to reflect and grow and have an improved sense of their own agency in managing dissonance. The exploration of domains weaves in stories and research from practitioners and scholars to show how beliefs, knowledge, and skills in building relationships are critical elements of excellence. Like the stone pines depicted on the cover with their timeless beauty, stability, and strength, teachers need to take a long view, knowing that improvement will come with hard work and a responsive, nuanced approach to practice.
