Boogren’s guidance, you will work your way through thirty-six weeks of daily self-care strategies and techniques, each corresponding with a week of the school year. Weekly themes range from creativity and inspiration to relationships and time management for teachers and administrators.

• Understand how prioritizing your own self-care will better equip you to positively impact student learning and achievement.
• Discover low- and no-cost self-care ideas for teachers and administrators designed to help make meaningful, positive change.
• Explore the dangers of stress in the classroom and in an educator’s personal life, and understand how this stress affects students.
• Learn how to assess what you need, check in with yourself throughout the day, and act on what you learn.
• Utilize reflection questions to help you think through which strategies worked — and which didn’t.
• Let go of the expectations of perfection while practicing these self-care techniques and teacher wellness ideas.

REVIEW

I don’t usually write a review until I have finished (or decided to abandon) a book. But I have decided to break protocol this time because this book comes highly recommended by my daughter (and sometimes guest blogger) Rachel, and now is the time to get started on a healthier school year.

I am only a couple of weeks in and I already have a better grasp on my schedule & maintaining a proper work-life balance.

If you are a teacher or administrator who is already stressed out, I strongly suggest that you buy this book TODAY!!!
