Many teachers reach a point in their careers where they are not as effective, excited, and enthusiastic as they once were when they first entered the classroom. Many get to a point where they even dread going to work each day. The Award-Winning #1 Bestselling Author, Dr. Marquita S. Blades, calls this the "Mediocrity Trap", where talented, charismatic teachers are functioning in survival mode, doing just enough to make it through each day.In The Mediocre Teacher Project book collaboration, seven educators share their stories of how it felt to be in the "Mediocrity Trap", how they got there, and what they did to change their circumstances so that they could love and enjoy teaching again.
