TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR PERSONAL WELL-BEING

Happy Teacher Revolution by Danna Thomas aims to transform burnout culture into a culture where teachers support and encourage each other in pursuing personal well-being. This transformation starts with you.

Happy Teacher Revolution empowers you with information and techniques on how to care for yourself, nurture your working relationships, and stand up for yourself in a system that isn’t designed to prioritize you. As you work through this compassionate, conversational book, you will:

• Integrate your self-knowledge to show up more authentically for students and colleagues
• Set boundaries with colleagues, administration, and other stakeholders while fulfilling your duties
• Support students who have experienced trauma while addressing vicarious trauma in yourself
• Model and build diverse communities of educators who make personal well-being a priority

As your own journey of mental health and well-being progresses, you will want to come back to this book’s many tools and insights again and again.
