{"product_id":"9780998258508","title":"Stories About Teaching, Learning, and Resilience: No Need To Be An Island","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou can find countless books dedicated to student success and resilience. But what about the faculty? What do we do to help college faculty cultivate their professional and personal growth and resilience?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring more than three decades as a teacher and workshop facilitator, Steve Piscitelli noticed that many educators can become isolated from their colleagues and their larger institutional culture. They become \"islands\" disconnected from the potential power of the teaching and learning community. That isolation can affect teaching efficacy and resilience. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo encourage educators to embrace the power of collaboration, Piscitelli outlines the \"7Rs\" for success: relationships, relevance, resources, rainbows, responsibility, reflection, and resilience. He created thirty-seven scenarios, based on real life issues. Each shows how to apply these seven themes to better adapt to professional and personal challenges educators face. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scenarios raise questions about the classroom, work-life integration, collaboration with coworkers, and interpersonal relationships with supervisors. Every teaching and learning situation-every one-gives us the opportunity to take stock of and strengthen our own resilience level. And we do not have to do it alone. That is the beauty of our calling! And that is the strength of this book. It recognizes the power of a collegial teaching and learning community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePiscitelli supplements the information and scenarios with links to brief thought-provoking videos (approximately sixty seconds each) that encapsulate major themes and discussion points.
