Overview

Build Boundaries and Find the Balance You Deserve Educators know teaching can be absolutely amazing, but it can also be extremely exhausting. There are days when you feel like a rock star, and then there are days when you're just . . . tired. What those in this profession call ""teacher tired."" And why wouldn't you be? You're not just a teacher-you're a counselor, mediator, parent, cheerleader, event planner, and part-time magician. If this sounds familiar, here's hope: you don't have to keep running on empty, waiting for a miracle. It's time to rediscover the joy that got you into teaching in the first place. In Teacher by Day, veteran teacher Dr. Yvette Dixon Ledford gets real about setting boundaries, finding balance, and reconnecting with the passion that lights you up. You'll get practical strategies (no fluff, just real talk), personal stories (because, trust her, she's been where you are), and advice that moves you from surviving to actually thriving. Teacher by Day is a powerfully timely handbook that will help educators keep their passion for imparting knowledge while maintaining their sanity in an ever more demanding profession. It should be a go-to resource for anyone in education. -Nic Stone, New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin Reading Teacher by Day reminded me that thriving as an educator and in life is not only possible, it is essential, and this book makes the journey feel empowering every step of the way.-Da'Nall Wilmer, educator, author, and mentor Dr. Yvette Dixon Ledford offers a candid, uplifting guide to teacher well-being.

This essential book is both a mirror and a roadmap for teachers ready to thrive, not just survive.-Dr. Natalie Odom Pough, university professor, teacher, and recipient of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science
