'I can barely keep my head above water. How could I possibly thrive at work?' If you're a teacher, I'll bet you're asking yourself this question.
We enter the profession to help young people grow and learn, but find ourselves in a system that values compliance over individuality. Our days are spent supporting others, leaving us little time to rest and reflect. We nurture the wellbeing of our students, but neglect our own.
If you want to become the teacher you always dreamed of being, it's time to put yourself first. Backed by science and the stories of real teachers, Thrive will help you understand your needs, energy and choices. Discover strategic solutions for overcoming burnout and frustration, learn how to meaningfully discuss teacher wellbeing at school, and build the resources that will enable you to stop surviving and start thriving.
Daniela’s book thrive should be a must read for every educator looking for practical strategies to prioritize well-being in their personal and professional lives. It’s jam packed with exercises, reminders, stories and points to support lasting change in a teachers life. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and will be referencing it in many of my upcoming presentations around educator residency. Thank you Daniela for sharing your work in the world
