Governing The Teacher's Soul

The author Dr Dhana Sagree Govender has had experience as a school teacher, university lecturer and post-doctoral researcher. She currently practices as a Human Behaviour Specialist, mentoring leaders in business and teachers to actualise their peak potential through self-mastery and self-transcendence to lead with inspiration.

“This courageous new book sheds light on the dark side of educational change by making teachers and teachers’ work visible in a way seldom found in published research. And yet this striking publication leaves us with hope. It also draws on stories of how to care for yourself, and how to re-evaluate, question and re-awaken the soul with your humanity in mind.

Here is a story of real people, teachers, as they unveil the emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical, organizational and personal impacts of educational change.

Governing the Teacher’s Soul could yet prove to be a lifesaver for thousands of teachers across this country, and a serious wake-up call to the next band of evangelical reformers to knock on the teacher’s door with utopian promises of what change can do.”
