Southwest Leadership Academy Charter School

In education, resilience isn’t just a trait—it’s a necessity. At Southwest Leadership Academy Charter School, we believe in empowering educators to lead with purpose, even in the face of adversity. The Choice by Dr. Edith Eva Eger—a Holocaust survivor and psychologist—offers a profound lesson: even in our darkest moments, we have the power to choose how we respond. For teachers navigating systemic challenges, classroom pressures, or personal trials, this book is more than a memoir—it’s a guide to reclaiming agency, fostering hope, and finding meaning in the work we do. A must-read for educators committed to growth, healing, and transformative leadership. #SLAReads #BooksforEducators #BookRecommendation
