The challenges of education today can send even the best teacher spiraling down and out. Savvy administrators spot the signs of teacher distress and take preventative action before it is too late. Brock and Grady utilize existing research and practice to provide accessible, real-life solutions to help busy administrators understand and prevent staff burnout. Highlights include:

  • Recognizing burnout - origins and symptoms
  • Personality profile of the susceptible teacher
  • Organizational and administrative issues
  • Strategies for recovery and prevention
  • The principal′s role
  • Effective ongoing management--tending the flame

Any administrator concerned about keeping good teachers motivated will want this book. It is an essential guide for principals, school administrators, staff development programs, graduate courses in educational administration--and an inspiration for every teacher!
