A heartfelt, hands-on guide to setting boundaries, increasing productivity, and finding fulfillment for teachers who know that their classrooms won't thrive unless they do.

Over time, teachers internalize myths about their success that cause them to fall out of love with teaching.

"I'll never be one of the 'perfect' teachers'"
"My self-worth is defined by my students' test scores"
"The only way to get it all done is to work on weekends"

Scripts for establishing boundaries that will drastically reduce the time you spend lesson planning, responding to emails, and planning extracurriculars
