Meet Mrs. Best.

She is the near perfect example of the fulfilled teacher. She is different from Mr. Droopy and Miss Irk – two other teachers in the same school – in that she is super excited about her work and forging ahead in her profession as a result.

Oh, yes, she faces the same challenges as her colleagues, and perhaps more, because her resolution to be a high-flyer despite the huge odds along her way constantly set her against the tide of mediocrity that has almost enveloped the school system in her clime.

Is she overwhelmed by these challenges? No! Not Mrs. Best. She is not only surviving as a teacher, she is actually thriving, riding the waves of knowledge, expertise, innovation and resilience to display best practices in the teaching profession, to the satisfaction of her employer, the amazement of her colleagues, and the great benefits of her students. She is who her name says she is, BEST!

*B* - Bond with students regarding their studies.

*E* - Educate with the goal of education in mind.

*S* - Subscribe to career growth and development.

*T* - Take opportunities as they come to realise career benefits.

But why is she so excellent? What really makes her stand out? How can the average teacher become a professional like her?

The Fulfilled Teacher reveals in Mrs. Best the distinguishing elements in the teaching profession, in contrast to unprofessional attitudes and actions (seen in Mr. Droopy and Miss Irk) that smell mediocrity and spell doom.

This book is a must read for every teacher that is interested in uniquely charting a career path in the teaching profession – to his or her fulfilment and prosperity – irrespective of what the current remuneration suggests.
