Being a teacher is hard, albeit rewarding work. The effort that goes into solving students' educational and psychological problems and the constant pressure to meet professional demands often leads to stress, anxiety and burnout. And don’t forget about interaction with parents, who are often not ready to hear the teacher and do not always communicate respectfully. In these circumstances, how can you not lose inspiration, faith in the meaning of your work, and continue to enjoy communicating with children?

Psychologist and teacher Amy L. Eve offers 52 effective practices - one for each week of the year. The exercises and thought-provoking ideas will help you develop compassion, mindfulness, resilience, and regain a sense of purpose—so you can go to school each day with confidence and inspiration. This book also provides strategies for working collaboratively with colleagues to create a more positive school environment and support systems that provide a sense of meaning, community, and cohesion among teachers and students.
