Fall 2024

Our cover story is poignant and inspiring, as Internationally Educated Teacher Sherry Khanna shares her lengthy, challenging and often heartbreaking journey to becoming a permanent teacher in a Manitoba school division.

It’s no news to anyone that teacher burnout is a thing, and Kelsey McDonald takes on the “self-sacrifice culture” in education with a very clear message: toxic guilt and hyper-responsibility put many teachers on the path to burnout and threaten to keep them there. She shares the reasons why educators are often built to fail, and that they need to see self-care as an essential part of their work, not something outside of it.

In our regular column “The Principal of the Thing”, Wayne Davies explores creativity in the classroom, and its essential role in nurturing optimism, contributing to Reconciliation, and inspiring student investment in learning. He also reveals how to recognize and banish the ultimate creativity killer: fear of judgement and criticism.

All this and more in the fall, 2024 issue of the MB Teacher magazine!
