Reignite the Flames: Finding our passion and purpose for learning among the embers

Maybe you're the teacher who loves their job but would do anything to help your burnt out colleague.

Maybe you're the teacher that thinks back fondly to the days when you loved your job. Now, you spend more time looking to go elsewhere than engaging with education.

Maybe you're the administrator who is struggling with the climate and culture of your school but cannot put your finger on what's really happening.

Maybe you're the dissatisfied administrator.

The purpose of this book isn't to judge any educator based on where they are on the continuum of engagement. The purpose is to provide the words that people need to describe their feelings so they can move toward healing.

Reignite the Flames, the follow-up book to The Fire Within, expands on the concepts of:

• Educator engagement and disengagement
• The connection between disengagement and mental health issues like burnout, secondary traumatic stress, and demoralization
• The impact of stress and trauma on our brains and bodies
• And strategies for self-care and re-engagement

There is no denying the challenge of being an educator, but there are opportunities to re-engage and be happy. Reignite the Flames provides the vocabulary and the roadmap to help.
