Planning to Stay: Burnout, Demoralization, Exploitation, and How to Reclaim Self-Care, Your Classroom, and Your Life... Anyway

This is a book for teachers who don't want to have to quit.

Teaching has never been easy, but these days it seems to keep getting harder. As the pressure builds, many educators are calling it quits on a profession that once felt like a calling.
