TEA(ch) N Glow: A Modern Educator’s Guide to Growth and Transformation
Feeling overwhelmed by burnout, rapid changes, or uncertainty about your future in education? You're not alone. Across the nation, dedicated educators are leaving the profession—not because they’ve stopped caring, but because the weight of modern teaching has become unsustainable. TEA(ch) N Glow offers a powerful, practical guide to rediscovering your purpose, restoring your well-being, and transforming your career.
Authored by Dr. Alexandra Choy Youatt and Nicole A. Arteaga, M.Ed., with therapeutic insights from Nancy L. Colattur, LCSW, LISAC, this book blends educational expertise with mental health strategies to provide the tools you need to thrive. Through the dynamic "TEA" framework—Transform, Energize, Affirm—you'll embark on a journey to embrace growth and reclaim joy in teaching without adding more to your already full plate.
Each chapter begins by addressing the realities of modern education, offering space to "spill the heavy" and reflect on shared challenges. From there, you’ll uncover actionable strategies to navigate the complexities of today’s classroom, reconnect with your authentic teaching self, and align your professional path with your personal values. The journey concludes with "The TEA of the Day"—therapeutic exercises to help you pause, reflect, and refuel.
