Becoming an Everyday Changemaker

Making change for more equitable and just schools is daunting, but change is possible and achievable when we have the tools. Becoming an Everyday Changemaker is your guide to making schools better for all students, no matter your role.

I open the book with an examination of why change is so hard in times of trauma, and then offer tools and strategies for embracing the complexities of change. If you’ve ever wondered, “how can I make change when I’m just one teacher?” I wrote this book for you.
