Breaking Free from Survival Mode in Education
Call for Authors: THRIVE: Breaking Free from Survival Mode in Education.
We’re seeking passionate educators, leaders, and advocates who are ready to share their authentic stories of transformation — stories that go beyond survival to rediscover purpose, passion, and the true heart of education.
Across classrooms, campuses, and central offices, countless educators are navigating exhaustion, overwhelm, and burnout. Yet within those challenges lie moments of awakening. Every educator has times that remind us why we chose this work and how we continue to make a difference. Our heart for children, our resilient spirits, and our integrity give us fuel to go another day. How we build relationships with our students and strive to ensure that equity is always on the table can be transformative in their lives.
We want to hear the stories that revived your passion, reshaped your leadership, and reignited your “why.”
Specifically, we’re looking for:
- Personal stories of resilience and renewal — the moments when you chose to thrive rather than merely survive.
- Courageous insights into redefining success and sustainability in education, even amid constant change.
- Practical strategies that helped you reclaim joy, purpose, and balance while leading or teaching through challenge.
- Transformational lessons that reveal how your values, vision, and vulnerability reignited your passion, cemented your impact, and inspired others.
Help us create a movement that reminds the world that education is not something to endure. It’s about evolving, healing, and thriving.
Join us as we revive the heart of education and thrive, one powerful story at a time.
