hat if teachers learn to take care of themselves while taking care of their students? In Take Time for You: Self-Care Action Plans for Educators, author Tina H. Boogren contends that the key to thriving, as both a human and an educator, rests in daily self-care. By working through Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs—(1) physiological, (2) safety, (3) belonging, (4) esteem, (5) self-actualization, and (6) transcendence—K–12 teachers and leaders will see a clear science-based path to overall well-being. This guide promises to be a source of inspiration long after its first read.
