As seen on Ellen!

As he watched poverty wreak havoc during his classroom and nearly break him too, Michael Bonner knew something must change—so he changed himself, before he quit being a teacher. 

Michael Bonner knew he wanted to be a teacher after his favorite college professor, Dr. Poulson, inspired him. The professor’s passion and love for teaching prompted Michael to change his major and his life’s direction. But nothing prepared Michael for the reality of a Title One school.

Teaching is fun until a 7-year-old is assaulting you or you’re dodging furniture being thrown at you. When you mix the craziness of a classroom with a marriage that used to be about to implode, anyone might wish to quit. Smiling on the outdoor even as feeling dead on the inside took this dedicated teacher to the breaking point. Michael knew he must change what used to be inside him, in his approach to life, or nothing would change anywhere else.

So Michael took matters into his own hands to make four key paradigm shifts that helped him create a world of successful learning for his students and love within both the study room and beyond. The result has been a transformation that’s taken Michael far beyond the study room as he inspires thousands across the country.

Many agree teaching is an amazing profession but there’s little discussion why such a lot of teachers are leaving the profession. Get Up or Give Up: How I Almost Gave Up on Teaching shines a light into the internal battles and decisions educators face day-to-day, and how we should make a conscious decision either to give in—or push through.
