"Teaching can be a highly satisfying profession, but it can also be overwhelming. Stress management. Self-care. Mental well-being. Mindfulness. These words have become all too familiar, but what do they actually mean for you? And how can they help without adding to your to-do list? All teachers have different experiences and different needs. Through stories by diverse educators, this professional resource invites you to try different wellness strategies, explore varying perspectives, and consider new ideas of what it means to "be well." Grounded in servant leadership and a holistic model, each chapter connects to Indigenous perspectives of wellness through remarks from Elder Stanley Kipling and Knowledge Keeper Richelle North Star Scott."--.

"This book will establish a common vision for teaching with clarity in early childhood and a common language for talking about what the Visible Learning research looks like and sounds like in practice. Through interactions and language, this intuitive knowledge becomes explicit: Young children can describe what they are learning, why they are learning it, and how they will know when they are successful. Aligned with what we know from the Visible Learning research, young children's learning moves through three phases: surface, deep, and transfer. In both play and non-play-based learning, early childhood educators can support children's movement through these phases of learning by selecting the right strategy at the right time. Through authentic examples that depict early childhood settings in three countries, this book will walk readers through experiences and teaching practices in the areas of math, literacy, art and music, and social and emotional learning"--Provided by publisher.
