The Garden At Night

Burnout And Breakdown In The Teaching Life

BY MARY ROSE O'REILLEY

Brief Description:
It's no wonder that burnout plagues the teaching profession. Teachers are on the front lines every day, meeting the needs of too many students at once. Meanwhile, they must also address an increasingly complex assortment of third-party expectations and deal with the politics of their schools and their departments. Whether you're a beginning teacher trying to sustain your idealism, or an experienced professional courting burnout, take a deep breath and read Mary Rose O'Reilley's The Garden at Night. O'Reilley draws on numerous experiences from the classroom and collegial life and identifies strategies that tap your own courage and strength.
