Everyday Self-Care for Educators: Tools and Strategies for Well-Being

If you're an educator experiencing burnout, compassion fatigue, or vicarious trauma, this book will help you embrace tangible self-care practices to improve your well-being both in and out of the classroom. Using the framework of the "window of capacity"--the zone of the nervous system arousal in which a person is able to function most effectively--the authors illustrate not only "the why" of self-care, but also "the how." Chapters explore how stress at school impacts personal life, the way teacher self-care benefits students, and ways in which schools can implement and support well-being. The book includes a variety of tips and interactive activities to help you identify your own needs and implement helpful practices. You'll leave with a toolbox of information and simple practices to effectively advocate for your well-being in educational spaces and beyond.
