Onward : Cultivating Emotional Resilience in Educators
Elena Aguilar · 2025
🎙 Narrated by Candace Joice
72/100
👍 Worth It
Aguilar built this from a decade of real classroom coaching, and the four-part framework gives teachers something structured to actually use against burnout rather than vague encouragement. It's a professional-development book through and through, so it can feel like homework in spots even as it stays genuinely useful. The audiobook is competently narrated but nothing especially notable stood out about the performance.
