You’re sitting in the parking lot again.

This book is for the teacher still deciding whether to step back into the building, and for the one who has just started and has no clear idea of what’s coming next. Written by an educator who stayed the course, it will tell you honestly and clearly what it cost to persevere.

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 got hired at a job fair on a handshake and a prayer. 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—despite the challenges—can be deeply gratifying.
