What is within our Realm of Control?
The first step in reclaiming our teaching lives is to force ourselves to stop and remember why we are teachers. Using that renewed energy and determination, the second step is to breathe and take control of our stresses. Our stresses come from our thoughts, which are our own creations. They are based on the stories we tell ourselves.
That was an excerpt from O’ The Joy by Elsie Moses-Hoeg. She writes about her journey back to the classroom and what she learned. She figured out how to manage stress, regain control and rediscover the simple joys of teaching.
It is a fun and easy read that reignites the energy and passion that makes learning in a classroom fun and engaging for students.
She has a free workbook that can be downloaded to build a new program from the ground up based upon what you love and what you value.
