[Briana · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book ties together a bunch of different ideas for teachers to deal with all that is put on their plates. Some parts are a bit cheesy and may not be realistic, but the meat of the book's message is strong and well written. Could be used by an individual or a book study group. Teacher well-being is an area we need to start looking at if we don't want to lose our veteran teachers over time.
