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: Tools for
Overworked Teachers 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
prioritizes 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.

With the right approach, no problem is unsolvable. How do you
approach and solve problems in education that have been around so
long that they just feel...normal? Perpetual issues-numeracy,
reading ability, equity, grading, and teacher retention-are often
continually managed, but not solved like the crises they are for
future sustainability. This innovative guide introduces seven
mindshifts that will help you engage with your community, access
diverse resources, embrace radical new ideas, create equity, and
chart a course of school improvement to solve those "unsolvable
issues" so that your students and teachers learn and grow. Features
include Seven adaptable models-one per mindshift-for finding your
own solutions to perennial problems Stories highlighting the
successful implementation of each mindshift Discussions to help you
match mindshifts to particular problems Technical tips and
reflection questions Persistent problems in education can only be
solved if we approach them as the crises that they are. This book
gives you the tools you need to become a new kind of school
leader-one empowered to not just deal with the outcomes of
perennial complex issues, but extinguish them altogether so that
your students can thrive.
