Becoming Enough (eBook)

Being an educator is not easy. It is a noble profession for a reason - which means that not everyone is meant to be an educator. After he was faced with the possibility that he too may not have been the right person, Dr. Marcus Broadhead reveals an honest look at what it took for him to recognize his purpose. Who we are today is the sum of all of the steps and experiences we have taken. For Dr. Broadhead, his missteps frame the wealth of experience he has accrued over twenty plus years in education. In Becoming Enough, Dr. Broadhead reflects on the experiences he had as a teacher, assistant principal and principal to shed light on the question: Have I done enough to make a difference? He explores his encounters within different school systems and in numerous roles and the challenges he has identified as a Black man seeking to find his place and to do his part based upon his understanding of his responsibility. The experiences he shares are genuine moments that speak to struggles all educators can identify with. Assisting children and adults to learn and to grow for a greater good that may not ever be seen is a daunting challenge. For all who read, humanity resonates in the quandaries. Trying to understand how to recognize your part in the complexity of life and to find value and meaning in what you do is a universal struggle. Becoming Enough gives you the opportunity to relate, wonder and question how you may be living up to the standards you have set for yourself in your chosen career.
