The Enlightened Teacher: Vignettes to Guide Your Practice

By Patty Lee

As a teacher, do you: -Feel exhausted from trying to keep up with demands from parents and administrators? -Find it hard to remember your original call to teach? -Experience a lack of community among your colleagues? -Wish you had more balance in your life? -Fear that you may be losing a part of yourself in this teaching life? If your answer is yes to any of the above, you may be wondering why you chose to teach in the first place. You're probably on the path to burnout personified by frustration, cynicism and hopelessness. The Enlightened Teacher: Trusting and Practicing What You Know is written as a response to all teachers who find themselves disillusioned. It is a reflective guide to get you back on course to the teacher you want to be and the difference you want to make in students' lives. The vignettes represent decades of teacher story gathering in schools of all levels. I believe you will find yourself in many of them and hope they will serve the legacy you want to leave.
