"Multiple teaching award-winner Tina H. Boogren cites the research on the high level of teacher stress as a call to arms against it. She offers intense encouragement to find the eye in the storm of teacher stress and gives readers multiple tips, strategies, ideas, and paradigms. The pages of this book jump with Boogren's smorgasbord of offerings for wellness. Teacher stress will lose its mighty grip on readers of this book!"
