Description
Ask most fellow teachers why they went into the profession and the odds are good the desire to give will be mentioned. As educators, we give all day long---to our students, parents, communities, and often our own families that wait for us at home.Teachers are really good at giving to others. But when it comes to giving to ourselves, we often tend to fall short, putting out own needs last. It's all enough to make an otherwise sane person more than a little off-kilter.So how do you take care of everyone around you, while also ensuring that you can thrive yourself? This innovative book---full of practical strategies and engaging anecdotes---answers that important question. From remembering to drink plenty of water to setting personal and professional boundaries and learning to work smarter (not harder), this book offers simple and easy-to-implement strategies to help all educators be healthier, more balanced, and downright saner!
