  1. Stress Management For Teachers

  2. Nurturing “Much like nurturing a garden, we have to attend to both removing the weeds (negative thoughts) and planting new seeds (positive thoughts). Just because you pull the weeds of your garden doesn’t mean flowers will grow in their place” (Herman and Reinke, 2015).

  3. Thinking Habits This book focuses on how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors. Not everyone thinks alike and there is more than one way to think about particular events and situations that happen in our lives.

  12. ABC DE Ms. Phipp’s C - Frustrated, annoyed, angry A - My principal announced at our faculty meeting that she would start doing weekly classroom observations starting next week.

Mr. Gonzalez’s C - Anxious, sad, anxious and depressed A - My principal announced at our faculty meeting that she would start doing weekly classroom observations starting next week. B - My principal is going to discover that I am an imposter, I am not a good teacher, I’m going to lose my job.

  14. ABCDE D (disprove, dispute, debate) This is a chance for me to get feedback, and that is one of the best ways to learn and grow as a teacher. I do a lot very well as a teacher, my students like me and are learning, and I am doing everything I can to get better at it. I’m not that bad! The worst that is likely to happen is that I will get some feedback about areas for improvement, and I will improve, which, is the whole point.

Mr. Caldera stops his instruction, charges to the back of the room, waves his finger at the students, and shouts, “I am not going to tell you again! Put those away and start paying attention!” He hovers over them for a few more seconds before quickly turning and walking to the front of the room. The class notices Mr. Caldera is flushed and visibly shaking as he begins instruction again.
