You found this page because you are, or know, a teacher. Congratulations! You are one of the hardest-working people on the planet. Teachers are AMAZING. If the world was run by teachers, it would be a better place. BUT Teachers are tired, often overwhelmed and stretched. We need to take control of our joy. We need to innovate and expand our strategies so we can improve education, not just for the children but for OURSELVES.
