Not One More Teacher Lost: How We Can Save the Profession

By Brad Gaynor

This book is a bold, timely and deeply human call to action for one of Australia's most trusted - and most undervalued - professions. Teachers are not just leaving classrooms; they're leaving a profession they once loved. Brad Gaynor explains why - and what must change.

Drawing on real stories from the frontline, compelling research and decades of leadership insight, he exposes the teacher workforce crisis with honesty, compassion and practical urgency. Structured in three clear parts - understanding the crisis, taking immediate action and building long-term solutions - it offers powerful insights and practical tools to restore the purpose, sustainability and dignity of teaching. From boundary-setting strategies for teachers, to trust-building practices for principals, to low cost system reforms that can begin now, the author shows that meaningful change is possible and already underway in schools across the country.

Written for teachers, school leaders and system decision makers alike, this book is a blueprint. Whether you've worked in education for three years or thirty, it speaks to your experience, your fatigue and your hope. Because saving the profession starts by listening to the people who know it best.
