A practical framework to avoid burnout and keep great teachers teaching

Onward tackles the problem of educator stress, and provides a practical framework for taking the burnout out of teaching. Stress is part of the job, but when 70 percent of teachers quit within their first five years because the stress is making them physically and mentally ill, things have gone too far. Unsurprisingly, these effects are highest in difficult-to-fill positions such as math, science, and foreign languages, and in urban areas and secondary classrooms - places where we need our teachers to be especially motivated and engaged. This book offers a path to resiliency to help teachers weather the storms and bounce back - and work toward banishing the rain for good.

This actionable framework gives you concrete steps toward rediscovering yourself, your energy, and your passion for teaching. You'll learn how a simple shift in mindset can affect your outlook, and how taking care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally is one of the most important things you can do. The companion workbook helps you put the framework into action, streamlining your way toward renewal and strength.

Cultivate resilience with a four-part framework based on 12 key habits.
Uncover your true self, understand emotions, and use your energy where it counts.
Adopt a mindful, story-telling approach to communication and community building.
Keep learning, playing, and creating to create an environment of collective celebration.

By cultivating resilience in schools, we help ensure that we are working in, teaching in, and leading organizations where every child thrives, and where the potential of every child is recognized and nurtured. Onward provides a step-by-step plan for reigniting that spark.

Our educators are still diving in three years later!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on May 12, 2021

This book has opened the door to many conversations in our district and the author's words in each chapter ring true for that time of year. We have had teachers take the ideas, strategies and resources that fit into their secondary classrooms for check ins, reflections and resiliency building tools. We have even used the keywords to help create our monthly district wide themes which supports our SEL work. My own copy of the text and workbook are dog eared, stained, overly sticky noted and highlighted. I keep coming back to the resources for check ins, key learning strategies and discussions and closure activities. The two most used things are the Spheres of Influence and Core Values. My goal for next year is to dive more into the story chapter along with the Coaching for Equity book.

Great book club choice

Great book so far. We are using it for our staff book club. Many launch points for discussion - sharing stories, making connections. Not a ‘self-help’ in an ‘I’ve got all the answers’ way - real stories and experiences shared. Definitely transforms my thinking.

Wellspring of Healing

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 17, 2019

I bought this book and the workbook after the worst year of my teaching career. The "school year" sequence of the book is the perfect format for educators. It was like she was reading my mind and gave me just what I needed to hear each month. FYI-There is quite a bit of "spirituality" and Eastern meditative influence in the book, but as a person of a different faith, I was still able to go from "ready to throw in the towel" to borderline joyful in just 10 months. It's effective coaching and healing for the teacher's soul.

This Lady Is Brilliant!

In February 2019 I was blessed to attend "The Art of Coaching Conference" with Elena Aguilar. While at the retreat, I purchased her book "Onward" my shameless way of thinking I could get an autograph and a picture. Little did I know this book would influence me as a parent, as a partner, and as a professional! Please bear with me as I attempt to find the correct words to convey my enthusiasm about this work. This lady is brilliant! Her book provides a “Calendar of Learning” best described as a reflective journey for educators. I must take a few lines to summarize the chapters so that you may feel my overall excitement about the layout of this book. Each chapter represented a month and shared feelings, struggles and action steps beginning not in January or September as most educators would expect but JUNE! YEP, June!

The calendar presented as follows: June – Know yourself, July – Understand Emotions, August – Tell empowering stories, September- Build Community, October- Be here now (be present for the moment), November – Take care of yourself, December – Focus on the bright spots, January – Cultivate compassion, February – Be a learner, March – Play and Create, April- Ride the waves of change, and May – Celebrate and appreciate. Elena goes further to discuss our individual resilience, organizational conditions and systemic conditions as teacher leaders. She references Frederick Douglass early on in the book with the quote, “Power concedes nothing without a demand.” I rephrased this statement to drive my professional practices to state “Leadership concedes nothing without a demand.” As a classroom leader, there will be struggles and difficulties but we must continue to press forward to meet the needs and demands in our schools.

I am still digging into this book month after month, discovering new things. A must-read!

I am one of 12 full time teacher mentors in my school district. Last April my department purchased this book, so we could start an ONWARD PLC book study as a way to stay united during the pandemic and remote learning. The 13 of us have been meeting bi monthly and sharing the facilitation of the meetings for over a year. The resilience strategies have been included in our monthly mentor professional development for our 200 one on one trained mentors in our district. We have purchased 200 copies of ONWARD to provide our 1:1 trained mentors next school year. We are continuing to move our professionals ONWARD with resilience strategies. ONWARD is a "life preserver" for educators. Kristen

Best book to hit education in a long time!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 5, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is a much needed book in the world of education. Teachers spend so much time and energy caring for others. It's time we help them care for themselves. As an elementary principal,vi have been able to immediately implement ideas from the book. It is written in such a way as to implement cover to cover OR to implement areas of need simply by choosing stand alone chapters. This book deserves more than five stars!
