Education philosopher Doris Santoro argues that demoralization offers a more precise diagnosis that is born out of ongoing value conflicts with pedagogical policies, reform mandates, and school practices. \u003ci\u003eDemoralized\u003c\/i\u003e reveals that this condition is reversible when educators are able to tap into authentic professional communities and shows that individuals can help themselves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDetailed stories from veteran educators are included to illustrate the variety of contexts in which demoralization can occur. Based on these insights, Santoro offers an array of recommendations and promising strategies for how school leaders, union leaders, teacher groups, and individual practitioners can enact and support \"re-moralization\" by working to change the conditions leading to demoralization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Doris A.
