Description

While there are already loads of books about how to deal with stress and take care of your health, at last here’s one that takes into account a teacher’s heavy workload and busy lifestyle. The author, an experienced teacher himself, avoids the blithe simplicity of typical “self-help” books to give you factual evidence, realistic steps, and straight-talk advice you can use immediately to

Take better care of your basic needs, such as healthy food, hydration, sleep, exercise, and emotional and spiritual refreshment.
Cultivate positive connections with other people, in and outside of school.
Make a positive difference through your work while keeping your role and impact on your school in perspective.
Keep the energy and passion for your work alive, even when things don’t go well.
Create healthy routines for your work and your life outside of school.

So instead of always shoving your personal needs into the background, here’s your chance to address them head-on and do a better job for your students by taking better care of yourself.

(ASCD book, 2010) 7" x 9", 125 pages.

Culture, Class, and Race: Constructive Conversations That Unite and Energize Your School and Community

Advancing equity in our schools and society requires deep thought and honest conversations about tough topics. These conversations about emotionally charged subjects, including race, class, and culture, can be daunting.
Authors Brenda CampbellJones, Shannon Keeny, and Franklin CampbellJones, experts in research and equitable practices, guide you through a meaningful framework for thinking about, preparing for, and having such critical conversations. They invite you to ponder your own cultural identity and assumptions, reflect and deeply consider values and beliefs, and then understand how these factors affect your conversations and interactions with others. The book's field-tested approach enables every educator to grow professionally by using the power of conversation to develop trust, ask powerful questions, really hear the answers--and learn together in ways that strengthen and invigorate the school and community.
