Teacher Therapy
Foreword
There’s a wry adage that maintains the three best things about teaching are June, July, and August. As every teacher knows, at times that line hardly seems like a joke.
Teaching—if you do it right—is tough. Every student is utterly unique, with different learning styles and strengths, interests, experiences, and motivations. And each student places demands on you that require you to respond with your entire being—body, mind, and spirit.
No wonder teaching is more a calling than a job, needing as much talent and skill as any art. And no wonder you sometimes feel so depleted, so tired.
Teacher Therapy can’t take away the tough times. It won’t decrease your class size or correct your papers, plan your lessons or perfect your students.
