Teachers Are Human Too: A Teacher's Journey Post Covid: From Breakdown to Liberation - Paperback

by Jaclyn Kirby (Author)

Do you feel like your daily routine is draining your joy? You've tried whatever "self-care" tips you were recommended but still feel distant from who you want to be...

Teachers Are Human Too is a deep dive into a teacher's real life after a mental breakdown upon starting a new school year fueled her search to find a sustainable, new approach to teaching.

For teachers who are unhappy and resonate with the feeling of being on the verge of burnout or breakdown, my hope for this book is that you feel seen. I share my experience to help you reconnect with your deepest, personal desires which beg the question-What kind of life do I want to live?

In changing my approach to teaching, I learned how:

• Being "selfish" was the best thing I could do for my students
• Crafting my day in service of my top three priorities helped me avoid expectations about giving all of myself to my work
• To stay present and peaceful in the midst of explosive, uncontrollable student behaviors
• To find fulfillment and live my fullest, happiest life as a teacher and beyond

For those who are curious about what all the fuss is about-Why are teachers complaining? Why are they leaving?

Teachers Are Human Too is an honest, vulnerable look into what a teacher deals with day to day and how the high expectations and lack of support take a toll on teachers' ability to show up as their best selves.

If you're struggling and want to figure out how to revive your passion for teaching, this book is for you.

If you're unhappy and want to leave teaching, this book is for you.
