Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All humans encounter challenges in life; teachers are no different. Sometimes these trials knock the wind right out of us and cause us to fall into despair. Occasionally, these setbacks, if educators pay attention, can offer new insights into ways to rebound from stressful life events. Teacher Confidential: Personal Stories of Stress, Self-Care, and Resilience tells the stories of seven educators who have fallen, but have learned critical life lessons. They share these messages in this compilation of nonfiction essays in the voices of PreK-16 educators. It relates the personal experiences of teachers and their steps toward healing and self-care. The educators embrace vulnerability and share on topics such as: the death of a spouse, workplace bullying, the failed induction of a first-year passionate teacher, domestic abuse that ends in divorce, job dissatisfaction that transforms to joy, finding gratitude for teaching in the face of a cancer diagnosis, the road to weight loss and healthy living, and coming out as a gay educator. Authentic, courageous, and cathartic, these accounts of humanity and strength encourage other teachers to reflect more deeply on their own lives outside of the classroom. Teacher Confidential: Personal Stories of Stress, Self-Care, and Resilience offers a clearer understanding of what happens to teachers after the school bell rings, and it underscores teachers ability to become resilient and remain in the profession to better serve learners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Happy Teachers Change the World is the first official, authoritative manual of the Thich Nhat Hanh/Plum Village approach to mindfulness in education. Spanning the whole range of schools and grade levels, from preschool through higher education, these techniques are grounded in the everyday world of schools, colleges, and universities. Beginning firmly with teachers and all those working with students, including administrators, counselors, and other personnel, the Plum Village approach stresses that educators must first establish their own mindfulness practice since everything they do in the classroom will be based on that foundation. The book includes easy-to-follow, step-by-step techniques perfected by educators to teach themselves and to apply to their work with students and colleagues, along with inspirational stories of the ways in which teachers have made mindfulness practice alive and relevant for themselves and their students across the school and out into the community. The instructions in Happy Teachers Change the World are offered as basic practices taught by Thich Nhat Hanh, followed by guidance from educators using these practices in their classrooms, with ample in-class interpretations, activities, tips, and instructions. Woven throughout are stories from members of the Plum Village community around the world who are applying these teachings in their own lives and educational contexts.
