A Work in Progress. 330 $aThis book chronicles the challenges, truths, and lessons of teaching and leading in a traditional high school today: the bureaucratic red tape, the fight for inclusivity, the mental health and safety concerns, and the urgent need for teacher support and wellness. From active shooter drills to digital distractions, from closing achievement gaps to preserving educator autonomy, the challenges are immense?but so are the opportunities for change. With an honest and insightful perspective, the authors share their compelling narrative account from their extensive experiences in the trenches as both a cautionary tale and a call to action?challenging educators, policymakers, and communities to rethink how schools can truly serve students and those who teach them.
