You’re sitting in the parking lot again.
This book if for the teacher still deciding whether to go in the building and for the one who just started and has no idea what’s coming. Written by an educator who stayed, and who will tell you at exactly what cost.
Two Teachers.
THIS BOOK IS FOR…
01
The teacher who’s been doing this for years
Maybe it’s October. Maybe it’s February. 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.”
02
The teacher who just started
You just got hired at a job fair on a handshake and a prayer. You are about to walk into a school building with a giant tote bag full of motivational posters and absolutely no idea what’s coming.
