In UpDrafts, you will meet eight teachers whose strategies for staying alive and creative in the classroom reenergized not only their teaching but also their lives outside the classroom. Drawing on the theoretical implications of the lively, engaging, and often sobering personal narratives, Fox outlines four main themes intrinsic to the renewal process. Based on these findings, Fox suggests a new model for teacher renewal, one with implications far beyond the classroom. This text’s compelling blend of teacher profiles and practical, theoretically sound guidelines presents a strong argument for schools at all levels to provide opportunities for teachers to refresh themselves professionally and personally, renewing our classrooms and schools in the process.
