Book Details
Elevate your teaching, embrace change, and lead with a growth mindset.
The Growth-Minded Educator explores how to transform careers in education through connecting the growth mindset, professional development, and mentorship.

You’ll discover how to:
- Advance career growth with confidence and clarity by embracing new perspectives on educational change
- Supercharge your professional development with innovative training resources
- Build sustainable mentorship opportunities and connections that drive career growth
Yet contemporary career support in education often falls short.
- 70 percent of workers lack mentors.
- Traditional mentoring rarely extends beyond the one-on-one model.
- Educators leave jobs due to insufficient professional development.
Teachers and school leaders need expert support to thrive professionally. Even if you don’t have a mentor down the hall, with this book, you can elevate your professional trajectory with fresh perspectives.
Growth is essential. Mentorship matters. The Growth-Minded Educator ensures you’re equipped for both.
