This book is designed to equip and inspire current educators and those considering the profession of teaching as they seek to positively impact student lives for years to come. In an age where fewer and fewer educators view teaching as a lifelong profession, this book provides practical strategies for not only surviving, but thriving as a teacher. This book outlines a transformative framework that empowers educators to foster a learning community built upon the strengths of students, their parents, colleagues, community members, and ultimately the strengths of the teachers themselves

Katie Alaniz, EdD, serves as Director of the Center for Learning Innovations and Teaching Excellence (C-LITE) at Houston Christian University, where she also teaches undergraduate and graduate education courses within the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences. As a teacher and digital learning specialist for nearly two decades in both public and private schools, including her service as a digital learning specialist at River Oaks Baptist School, Dr. Alaniz guides educators as they meaningfully integrate digital tools and resources within their classrooms.
