Shout-out to @EdTechDestiny and her NEW BOOK! 📢

Teachers are really good at taking care of everyone else.

The students. The families. The team. The school.
And somewhere along the way, it gets very easy to believe that being a “good teacher” means always being available, always saying yes, and somehow finding more hours in a day that stubbornly refuses to have more than 24.

I’ve had the chance to see what Destiny Wagner has been working on with The C.A.L.M. Teacher, and I think this is a book a lot of educators need.

It’s about creating calmer, more sustainable ways of working so teachers can still enjoy the parts of the job they love – without sacrificing themselves to do it.

If that sounds like something you or a teacher you know could use, learn more about the book and be the first to know when it launches:
