Meet the Publisher
Teachers Deserve It was published by Dave Burgess Consulting, Inc.
a publisher known for amplifying bold, innovative voices in education. DBC books challenge traditional thinking and empower educators with practical, inspiring ideas that transform classrooms and school culture.
Why This Book Was Needed
For too long, the narrative in education has focused on what teachers owe—long hours, endless paperwork, and constant sacrifice. Teachers Deserve It was written to flip that script. This book gives voice to what educators truly need: respect, balance, and practical systems that honor both their humanity and their profession. By challenging outdated expectations and offering real, actionable strategies, the book became a rallying cry for teachers, paraprofessionals, and leaders who knew something had to change. It reminds schools everywhere that when teachers are supported, students thrive.
Reminder:
This isn’t just a book. It’s a reminder that teachers are the heartbeat of educationand they deserve better, starting now.
