THIS BOOK IS FOR…
The teacher who’s been doing this for years
Maybe it’s October. Maybe it’s February. Or maybe it’s Tuesday, which is somehow always its own kind of hard. You are in your car or at your desk thinking about whether you should keep doing this. I want to sit next to you and say, “Keep going.”
The teacher who just started
You’re a new teacher now, wondering what you’ve gotten yourself into and feeling a mix of excitement and unsteady nerves. This book speaks to that sense of being lost and overwhelmed, and it explores why sticking with the work can be deeply gratifying.
