Teachers can't be all-wise, all-knowing, all-caring, and always positive all the time in the classroom. We can't go home and prepare 5 lessons a day, grade 50 quizzes, record a video of highlights from class, fill out student progress reports, and then cut out holidays shapes for the bulletin boards. Not every day, even though we'd like to.

It is only recently that we've realized that our expectations for teachers are just not healthy! We can't be everything and everyone to all our students, all the time, much as we wish we could. But so many teacher self-care books encourage you to do even more! Now you have to find time for journaling, yoga, coffee dates, and more. Plus you feel guilty the whole time, because you're not planning lessons or buying pencils to give your students before their big exam Friday!

The Teacher Self-Care Manual: Simple Strategies for Stressed Teachers by teacher, trainer, and coach Patrice Palmer provides simple, easy-to-apply strategies that will help you take care of yourself. Patrice leads you through  the simple processes of changing the mindsets and habits that make us work until we burn out!

Clearly and thoughtfully written, Palmer gives you the awareness and tools you need to be a great teacher without sacrificing yourself! And she should know. She's been through teacher burnout and come out the other side.
