Reihe: Equity and Social Justice in Education Series

Educator growth, well-being, and evaluation are often disconnected. How can we weave them together to better champion adult learning needs so educators can thrive and remain in their roles?

In this important resource, bestselling authors Lori Cohen (The PD Book) and Elizabeth Denevi (Learning and Teaching While White) present a framework for creating a healthy ecosystem of school transformation: equity, well-being, growth, and evaluation. The authors discuss each foundation in-depth and provide research-informed practices, tools, and case studies for easy implementation. Resources include reflections to co-create a vision for equity, a sample coaching/mentoring conversation arc, steps for implementing a growth structure, the Teacher-Student Relationship Quality (TSRQ) Matrix, the Integrated Classroom Practices for Equity Rubric, and more.

Whether you’re a school leader, mentor, or teacher evaluator, this accessible guide will help you create a transformative school environment to sustain and grow effective, empowered educators.
