Empowering Teachers to Lead a Culture of Sustainable Connection.
PRE-ORDER - Publication 27/08/25
In schools around the world, a crisis is growing: students are disengaging, teachers are burning out, and communities are fracturing under competing priorities. Despite overwhelming evidence that meaningful connection underpins both academic success and wellbeing, schools continue to treat relationship-building as a "nice-to-have" rather than essential work.
Author Matt Pitman calls thisThe Connection Conundrum– the paradox of knowing connection matters yet consistently prioritising everything else. Like any great endeavour, success in education depends on trust, collaboration, and shared purpose. Pitman shows how educators can navigate the challenges of modern schooling by placing connection at the centre of everything they do.
Written for teachers unwilling to wait for permission to lead change, this follow-up toThe Connection Curriculum offers a practical roadmap through the 4Cs – Culture, Communication, Collaboration, and Curiosity – that transform disconnected classrooms into thriving learning communities. Matt Pitman empowers educators to lead from where they are, providing actionable strategies to build relationships, foster belonging, and sustain meaningful connection, even when formal leadership hesitates.
The Connection Conundrum is an urgent call to action for anyone who believes schools should put people first – offering the tools to make that vision a reality.
