Schooling has long been held responsible for the health and wellbeing of children. Teachers as Health Workers offers a critical perspective on these matters, documenting the day-to-day work of Australian teachers as they grapple with the challenges, and joys, of balancing education and health-related responsibilities."This is a timely, inspirational and thought-provoking book exploring teachers' health work. It includes many compelling stories about the teaching of, and caring for, health in schools. The book fills a gap for teachers, educational leaders, policy makers and academics regarding how teachers serve as critical health resources that enable children and young people to swim well in the river of life." Professor Mikael Quennerstedt, Örebro University, Sweden "Something important is going on when educators and schools are charged with new responsibilities for pediatric health and well-being. The authors' critical perspectives illuminate hidden and unanticipated challenges, together with consequential policy and practice choices, in the quest for brighter futures for young people."?? Hal A. Lawson, Professor of Educational Policyand Leadershipand Professor of Social Welfare, University at Albany, State University of New York
