MY BAD: 24 Educators Who Messed Up Fessed Up and Grew!

by Peter DeWitt (Foreword), Jon Harper

MY BAD takes an unflinching look at the harm educators cause themselves—and their students—when they fail to acknowledge their own vulnerability. In startlingly honest and moving vignettes, 24 extraordinary teachers and administrators share how they’ve grown from their biggest regrets and mistakes. Every reader can identify with these stories and feel inspired to lead more authentic lives. We all struggle with insecurity, work-life balance, obliviousness, or self-absorption, but we rarely talk about it. MY BAD names the elephant in the room, which makes the book both therapeutic and deeply satisfying.

It's for Real!

I enjoyed the 24 stories Jon shared in this book. More so, I connected deeply with the true reflection that each educator had, and how it changed things for the better. Jon's story is also powerful. It hits you in the softest part of the teacher brain & heart, and leaves you filled with optimism that you too can learn from your mistakes. Even the mistakes that seem too horrible to share!

Well done!

Jon is an exceptional writer. This book is wonderful and has something for every educator.
I am actually one of the educators in the book. It was honor to share my story with Jon Harper.
