Teaching with Vitality: Pathways to Health and Wellness for Teachers and Schools

by Peggy D Bennett

Perhaps more than any other experience, conflict in schools and workplaces can zap our energy and steal our vigor as teachers. If we knew ways to minimize conflict and maximize vitality, would we use them? Teaching with Vitality offers specific behaviors and attitudes to reframe conflict by diluting and dissolving it.

Organized into brief topics for busy readers, Teaching with Vitality combines common experiences and practical options for lessening the turmoil that is inevitable in schools. As beneficent stewards of our children, educators are priceless contributors to the quality of our lives.

The main goal of Teaching with Vitality is to elevate teachers in their day-to-day lives by deconstructing the major and minor conflicts that sap their peace and dampen their power. School wellness is contagious. And, this book aims to offer daily pathways to health, wellness, and vigor.

Inspirational words of wisdom. This is not a book to read in one sitting. Each two page chapter is intended to have the reader to reflect on the issue. If we were able to follow her sage advice, schools would be much happier places and we would be less stressed-out educators. Working in education is a tough and very worthwhile job. When in doubt - PAUSE.

I love this book, which is a series of meditations on teaching. I checked it out from the library, but I'll be buying it soon.
