Hi, all!
While I am not quite in year 10 yet (#9 for me), I just wanted to pitch in
a book recommendation. I've recently been delving in to the book "Onward"
by Elena Aguilar (
https://www.amazon.com/Onward-Cultivating-Emotional-Resilience-Educators/dp/1119364892).
She does a beautiful job of speaking to the personal and emotional
wellbeing of educators, rather than just talking about instructional
strategies (though that's in there too). While I have been having a great
year, I struggle with how drained I am at the end of the day (in part I
believe this is related to my introverted nature) and was looking for
resources to help keep me motivated, with an eye towards incorporating
mindfulness/wellness as this is a big part of my personal life. So far
I've found the book to be thought-provoking and encouraging, and I am
feeling very hopeful!
