Synopsis:

Over time, teachers internalise myths about their success that cause them to fall out of love with teaching. 'I'll never be one of the 'perfect' teachers' 'My self-worth is defined by my students' test scores' 'I should be working on weekends' How to Love Teaching Again dispels them all and replaces them with practical antidotes to burnout and perfectionism so that you can reclaim your calling. As the CEO of Not So Wimpy Teacher, the most popular teaching resource brand on the internet, Jamie Sears has spent years designing tools and inventing strategies that restore the joys of teaching. This book distills Sears' hard-won advice that has helped thousands of teachers around the country transform their relationship with work, including: Permission to stop policing bathroom breaks and classroom jobs so that you can focus on the lessons that matter Reinventing small groups and centers so that they're easier to manage-and so you don't feel like you're spread thin A foolproof productivity system just for teachers, including a life-saving method for batching lesson plans Scripts for establishing boundaries that will drastically reduce the time you spend lesson planning, talking to parents, and planning extracurriculars Our education environment is often stacked against teachers-from virtual learning and mandatory meetings to red tape and standardized testing. Drawing on real-life struggles from the teachers who have used Sears' strategies to overcome burnout and make the most of their time, How To Love Teaching Again will inspire you to stop drowning in to-dos and do the work that inspires you.
