When teachers care for themselves deeply and deliberately, they are better able to care for the people that matter most in their lives — their students, friends, and families. Written in an informal, conversational tone, Practicing Presence is filled with ideas, exercises, checklists, personal anecdotes, and practices you can use to reframe and establish a mindset that will enhance focus and engagement in the classroom. This book gives the feeling of a personal coach who provides suggestions and routines so you can not only deal with being overwhelmed, but rise above it.
