Less Stress for Teachers More Time & An Organized Classroom

by Helene Segura

Overview

Less Stress for Teachers: More Time & An Organized Classroom addresses the thinking behind how to overcome "the overwhelm" that teachers feel on a daily basis. Teachers are bombarded with hundreds of tasks and decision-making situations per day, but they are often not given the tools to cope with all of that. This book will guide educators to a more efficient mindset, which will allow them to make better use of time-saving tools and concentrate on the joy of teaching and, more importantly, be happier. You will learn: *The 5 most critical areas to control *To create time where you thought it was impossible *To manage email, paperwork, lesson plans and other tasks *To set up your classroom in the most efficient way *To lower your stress level during the school day Many education books are either research-oriented or a compilation of checklists or a combination of the two. This book is not. Instead, it’s a thinking pathway that helps teachers bust through the emotional, psychological and organizational walls that prevent them from utilizing planners and other tools. It’s two decades’ worth of lessons, experiences and anecdotes organized into an easy-to-read book that will make readers laugh, cry, squirm, and ultimately re-evaluate who they are and how they are approaching their school days.
