description: Passion cannot be faked. Students can tell when we’re just going through the motions.

Your enthusiasm will become unshakeable as you learn how to:  Create curriculum “bright spots” that you can’t wait to teach Gain energy from kids instead of letting them drain you Uncover meaning and purpose for every single lesson Incorporate playfulness and make real connections with kids Stop letting test scores and evaluations define your success Construct a self-running classroom that frees you to teach Establish healthy, balanced habits for bringing work home Say “no” without guilt and make your “yes” really count Determine what matters most and let go of the rest Innovate and adapt to make teaching an adventure  Unshakeable is more than a collection of inspiring mindset shifts and practical, teacher-tested ideas for getting more satisfaction from your job.
