The Spark Book


 

The Spark

From the new graduate to the seasoned veteran, teachers are at high risk of career burnout. People entering education careers often face conditions of intense stress with little support and few resources. Author James Kiger, M. Ed., knows that teachers bring to their career a passionate flame; now he tells us how to keep that fire alive, how to ensure that our schools keep their gifted teachers content, challenged, and committed.

 

By learning to nurture and feed the fire, administrators and fellow teachers protect their school environment from the corrosive and contagious epidemic of teacher burnout. Simple, practical, and reality-based, Kiger's strategies ensure a positive faculty lounge, cheerful colleagues, and optimistic staff meetings.

"Your Book is so motivating, I read it twice, then gave it to a teacher friend" - DP, Principal

"I finished “The Spark” last week and I was very impressed and motivated.  The chapters were brief, easy to read, and the summaries very helpful.  I purchased another book for one of our students and told her to replace the mention of “teacher” with “student”.  I have encouraged others to buy the book and begin reading immediately.  Your suggestions are simple, yet effective.  I had an incident last week which caused me to use your advice and it made the situation even better than expected.Thanks for helping to keep our teachers motivated.  I may teach an additional five years because of it" - RS, teacher

"Awesome book and well written.  Finally, someone had the courage to speak to and for the teachers, giving them hope and guidance to become the most productive they can be in and out of their classrooms.  As I said before, feeding the feeders will only produce positive results in feeding our students.  Keep up the great work and I will look forward to more writings from you. 
 
Also, having one of my players read and finish your book, she cannot stop talking about it, and is recommending it to her peers.  Hmmm, maybe another book directed towards students.  Congratulations on completing the book and get ready to get busy from the overwhelming response..  " DW -teacher and coach
