Empowered Teacher

An education expert combines years of personal experience with educational research to offer new strategies and practical advice for teachers.

A former schoolteacher and middle school principle, Susie Wolbe, ED.D., has spent her career learning how we can improve our classrooms. Now she draws on her years of experience to address many of the common challenges teachers face, from classroom management procedures to stress and burn-out.

Divided into three easy-to-read sections, The Empowered Teacher provides educators with practical strategies that will improve the teaching experience, including how to establish strong relationships with students and parents, how to enhance teaching methods and bring joy back to the classroom, and how to develop good professional relationships with colleagues. Dr. Wolbe’s practical advice is designed to help educators see their profession through a different lens and to experience new ideas and strategies that will benefit everyone involved.
