Dear Literacy Teachers; Are you excited about the New Year ahead or worried about how you will manage the many demands placed on you at school and home?
I am writing to let you know about a book that may help you balance your work and personal life and find time for yourself as well. This book is being developed with input from teachers like you, who live the challenges and have developed helpful tips and strategies to address them. Please consider emailing me your ideas about the challenges you face and/or any helpful tips you have to share with other teachers. In return, I will email you my article on *Fitting exercise into your day: Ten tips for teachers*and I will consider your ideas for inclusion in the book. You can email your thoughts to me at [email protected]. Be sure to include your name, position, and city/state if you would like to be credited in the book or a chosen pseudonym if you prefer to remain anonymous. Below you will find the proposed outline for the book's Table of Contents. I look forward to hearing from you! Rahima Wade, Ed.D.
