Humphrey and Me takes us on a journey through the moral pitfalls that imperil the best hopes of even the most decent men and women and points the way to courage and understanding. This is a story about discerning our unique role in the world: our need for heroes who help us see it, and who teach us how to become heroes to others.

Sometimes the hardest thing about teaching isn’t the students—it’s the other teachers

Even educators who love what they do may find that their colleagues add stress to their already demanding jobs. Workplace bullying, cliques, fear-based leadership, and collective burnout are just some of the workplace dynamics that can make our jobs harder and diminish our ability to support students.

Psychological safety is the belief that you will not be humiliated, punished, or retaliated against for asking questions, expressing concerns, or trying new strategies—and it is essential for building teacher self and collective efficacy. The Other Teachers provides strategies to nurture psychologically safe relationships at work and create a more inclusive, supportive environment for all.
