The Teacher’s Journal

Description

Kathleen Adams’ most recent offering, The Teacher’s Journal: A Workbook for Self-Discovery with co-author Marisé Barreriro, guides a critically undervalued and overtaxed population of readers along an artful, oftentimes whimsical, always compassionate, and ultimately profound journey into personal clarity and replenishment…. Ms. Adams has always had a remarkable skill for the clear presentation of how to most effectively employ the immensely powerful yet remarkably accessible tools of pen and page. In this case, the intended audience now has a handy guidebook back to the sources of their passion. Replete with self-care action plans, tools for addressing difficult staff or students, ways to build community with other teachers (through writing groups!), and many other aspects too numerous to list here, this offering should prove a valuable resource to not only to our educators but, subsequently, to our communities generally, as we need our teachers to be awake, aware, refreshed, and alive with their passion to shape our children.
