Are You Getting By or Getting Better?: How To Increase Your Learning and Accelerate Your Career

By Martin Winchester

Teachers are working harder than ever- but are they learning and growing as fast as they could be? Nearly every educator receives training on what to do, but almost no one ever teaches them how to learn and get better on their own. The difference between a teacher who plateaus and one who continues to get better at their craft or prepares to take on another role isn't talent or luck - it's the ability to extract powerful lessons from every experience, every mistake, and every person they encounter. This book is for any educator who feels the pull toward something more - whether that's becoming better at your current role or preparing for your next one. It will show you how to: - Take ownership of your own growth and stop waiting for someone else to develop you - Learn from experience in a way that is intentional, effective, and efficient - Turn mistakes into mentors with a clear, actionable framework - Tap into the people around you as one of the richest learning resources you'll ever have You don't have to figure this out alone. The roadmap is right here. Don't just get by - get better every day. "A must read for teachers looking for inspiration and energy for the path ahead." -Wendy Kopp, Founder of Teach For America and Teach For All "Grounded in practical strategies, this is a book you'll return to again and again." - Maia Heyck-Merlin, Author of The Together Leader, The Together Teacher, and The Together Teammate
