Summary:
"This book focuses on encouragement for teachers paired with actionable strategies that can be used to improve areas of struggle such as classroom management, student engagement, student relationships, lack of planning time, and more. Most college education programs do not adequately prepare teachers for the realities of the classroom and teachers are left feeling overwhelmed and disillusioned as a result. This book will offer support to teachers in a similar situation in order to prevent burnout, especially during a time when teachers are facing more difficulties than ever due to a changing landscape in education"---Provided by publisher.
