I need books help teachers increase mindfulness and self care and decrease stress and burnout.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Mac's classroom raised $495

My Project
Teaching is a stressful job with increasing demands. In a post-quarantine teaching environment, burnout is at an all time high across the profession. Teachers need to prioritize self care, using tools like mindfulness and emotional regulation techniques to care for themselves and "put the oxygen mask on first before helping others."
These books will form the basis of continuing professional development workshops and mentoring conversations, and form the basis of a lending library for stressed out teachers to hopefully find some strategies.
This library will be in a spot in my room, where teachers from throughout the building can visit to borrow books and tools to help themselves and their students with emotional regulation, stress reduction, and being mindful.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
