Teachers First: A Guide to Avoiding and Overcoming Burnout in the Classroom

Are you exhausted and stressed? Have you ever wondered What happened to the joy I felt when I started teaching?

Teaching is a complex profession which can easily spill over into your personal life and create burnout. Carman Murray’s Teachers First provides a roadmap for you to show up in your classroom feeling energized and organized.

Murray uses her own experience to offer simple steps, stories, and strategies to inspire you to take action and experiment with ideas in your classroom and personal life. You will also gain tools to teach your students, equipping them with the skills they need to be even more successful in your classroom, school, and their lives in general.

Each time you pick up this book, it will serve as a reminder that you matter: how you treat yourself models for others—students and family—the importance of intentional self-care.
