Publisher Description: Teaching is a profession that requires engagement and energy, and teachers end up giving so much of themselves in the process. While there are countless rewards for the work teachers do, the profession can be intensely isolating, frequently demeaning, and always challenging. It is easy to lose energy and heart, and it is easy to forget why we entered the profession in the first place. Adventures in Education: Launchpad to Your Next is a very personal exploration of the joys and challenges of the profession with an eye toward the future. Using simple creative work, story-telling, self-reflection, and mindfulness techniques, you will revisit your journey to and through the profession. The purpose of this is to gather together the fragments of wisdom gained through time in the profession, and to use this knowledge to remember, re-invigorate, and even rewrite your "Next."This workbook is a companion text to the online workshop Adventures in Education: Launchpad to Your Next, however anyone can use this as a stand-alone text. The first chapter is an introduction to the research supporting the workshop activities, then the fun part: Chapter Two, the activities The third chapter has blank pages for you to unleash your creativity, and there are more pages available online if you run out. At the end of the book is a list of research references and resources for you to discover even more about mindfulness. |
