| Summary |
"Perhaps more than any other experience as educators, conflict in schools and workplaces can zap our energy and steal our vigor. If we knew ways to minimize conflict and maximize vitality, would we use them? For junior and seasoned teachers, Teaching with Vitality offers insights into specific attitudes and behaviors that can dilute and dissolve conflicts. Organized into brief topics for busy educators, Teaching with Vitality describes common experiences with practical options for lessening the turmoil that is inevitable in schools. The tips in Teaching with Vitality can elevate day-to-day lives by deconstructing the major and minor conflicts that sap teacher's peace and dampen their power. School wellness is contagious. With this book, educators can choose daily pathways that lead to health, wellness, and vitality."--Jacket.- |
