Cooling the Burn: a raw and real glimpse into the experience of teacher burnout as lived by a dedicated and effective teacher

Cooling the Burn reveals a behind the scenes look at an experience faced by many teachers when factors in our public education system rub into even the thickest skin of the most dedicated and effective teachers in classrooms today. Cooling the Burn is an ideal read for any classroom teacher struggling with burnout or for any school leader, friend, or family member of a teacher currently showing signs of the frazzled wear and tear that can lead to an unnecessary early departure from the craft. A final chapter reveals a summary of lessons learned by the author, following her year-long reflection, about how teachers, school leaders, and policy makers can best diminish experiences of burnout.
