Preserving Positivity: Choosing to stay in the classroom and banishing a negative mindset

I came across this book purely by accident as I saw the author on a BBC teach video and thought to myself she's phenomenal. I've been teaching for 14 years and over the past few have gotten myself into a dark place with pressures. I've not finished the book but what I've read has boosted me. I'm not alone with issues. It reads well and uses evidence. I can't stand academic texts that speak down to readers. This is like the author is sat with you, listening, supporting and being your cheer person. I've started the new term with a better outlook.

What a fantastic read, I ate the whole thing up! I have had many moments in my career where I have doubted whether this is the one for me but you have made me look at things in a whole new light. A must read for teachers at any stage in their career.

Nice, concise book with lots of handy tips from a large variety of teachers to deal with common issues that if left unaddressed can eventually push them away from a profession that they love. Well written and would recommend.
