The daily companion for teachers who want to grow without burning out.
Are you a teacher running on caffeine and intuition? Walking into a classroom every morning carrying the weight of yesterday's frustrations and tomorrow's pressures? Wondering if there is a way to grow in this profession without losing yourself inside it?
The Examined School Year is the year-long reflection book written specifically for educators.
Built around the 180-day school calendar and informed by the actual emotional arc of a teacher's year, this book delivers one focused, single-page reflection for every day you walk into your classroom.

What you will find inside:

- A daily reflection question at the end of every entry to spark genuine self-examination of your teaching practice
- Voices from across history and the world, including Nel Noddings, Maya Angelou, Paulo Freire, bell hooks, Temple Grandin, Septima Clark, James Baldwin, Joy Harjo, Confucius, Marcus Aurelius, Carol Dweck, and dozens more
- Sources and Further Reading lists at the end of each quarter so you can explore the ideas that resonate most
- Honest, practical, and warm writing that respects your intelligence and your exhaustion in equal measure
Perfect for:
- New teachers walking into their first classroom this fall
- Veteran educators looking to reconnect with the deeper purpose of their work
