Description

Teaching is not a job, it’s a passion. Caring and compassionate educators will stop at nothing to be sure their students have everything they need to flourish. As teaching demands increase, the attention teachers give to their own needs is often sacrificed. The pressures of teaching are forcing educators to choose between what they love to do and their own well-being. The levels of stress are so high that teacher shortages are considered a crisis in the United States.

Authors Connie Hamilton and Dorothy VanderJagt share an alternative. They believe it’s possible to be a highly effective teacher and focus on yourself. Strained and Drained describes five areas of wellness and offers realistic and practical ways that teachers can create habits to support each one. You’ll find effective ways to take care of YOU, both in and out of the classroom.

Wellness is not an isolated activity, it’s a way of life and requires a mindset that values and prioritises it. The strategies you gain from this book will support your physical, emotional, social, cognitive, and spiritual health and will put you at your best so you can enjoy what the authors still believe is the most important and rewarding profession on earth.
