LET'S TALK ABOUT THE EMOTIONS OF TEACHING...

• If you have cried in your classroom, in the lunchroom, or on the way home, you are not alone.
• If you have stood in your classroom and have heard your inner voice say,
• "I didn't sign up for this," you are not alone.
• If teaching has caused you such distress that you have considered other careers, you are not alone.
• And...if you have simultaneously felt fulfilled and excited from being able to teach, reach, and inspire students, then you are also not alone.

I Didn't Sign Up For This: One Classroom Teacher's Journey Through Emotional Fatigue to Personal Empowerment is an intimate look at how today's teachers feel and what they can do to reclaim their confidence and joy to be the teachers they were always meant to be.Integrating self-discovery and personal experiences from nearly two decades of teaching high school English, author Diane Manser shares her realization that teaching is an emotional profession that needs to be viewed as such. Diane offers her painful and uplifting teaching moments, sharing universal experiences that bind all teachers, in the hope that veteran and emerging teachers alike will feel validated and better prepared for a profession that demands not just strong lesson plans but also strong emotional health.Teaching-more than is recognized-is an emotional profession. Join Diane as she shares her teaching and personal journey with you and as you discover your own.
