Not One More Teacher: Why the Profession Is Breaking – and How We Can Save It is a bold, timely and deeply human call to action for one of Australia’s most trusted – and most undervalued – professions.
Teachers are not just leaving classrooms; they’re leaving a profession they once loved. Brad Gaynor explains why – and what must change. Drawing on real stories from the frontline, compelling research, and decades of leadership insight, he lifts the lid on the teacher workforce crisis with honesty, compassion and practical urgency.
Written for teachers, school leaders, and system decision-makers alike, this book is a blueprint. Structured in three clear parts – understanding the crisis, taking immediate action and building long-term solutions – it offers powerful insights and tools to reclaim the purpose, sustainability and dignity of teaching.
From boundary-setting strategies for teachers to trust-building practices for principals and low-cost system shifts that can happen now, the author shows that meaningful change is possible – and already happening in schools across the country.
Whether you’ve worked in education for three years or thirty, this book will speak to your experience, your fatigue and your hope. Because saving the profession starts by listening to the people who know it best.
