NEW YORK—May 2, 2017—Morgan James’s new release, Teacher’s Field Guide: 7 Truths About Teaching to Help You Start off Strong, Avoid Burnout, and Stay in Love with Teaching by Kerry Hemms, offers a solution to the national teacher retention crisis.
The education field has one of the worst employee turnover rates of any industry, with fifty percent of all new teachers leaving the profession within the first five years. And with all of the changes and debate facing the country’s public education system, this statistic is ever growing. Teachers enter the field because they want to make a difference, but the many challenges they face can leave them dazed and downtrodden.
With twenty years of experience as a teacher under her belt, Kerry Hemms is no stranger to the burnout that comes with this job. Wanting to inspire new teachers to stay the course and aid seasoned teachers in their daily lives, she has written the Teacher’s Field Guide, an education resource that is focused on the teachers and their needs, rather than just on curriculum. In it, she offers tips for classroom and workload management, tools to lessen the stress, and inspiration to find the joy in teaching.
Teacher’s Field Guide: 7 Truths About Teaching to Help You Start off Strong, Avoid Burnout, and Stay in Love with Teaching addresses the questions that teachers are seeking answers for, and provides an open and honest dialogue and about burnout and how to deal with it. Teachers are the ones molding the minds of the next generation, and as such they need to be cared for, appreciated, and enabled. Teacher’s Field Guide sets out to do just that.
