STRESS IN EDUCATION IS INEVITABLE.
HOW DO YOU COPE?
You've worked all day in the classroom with other people's children, you have to pick your own kids up from practice at 5, you're so exhausted you're wondering how you're ever going to make dinner without falling asleep in the mac and cheese, and then you get to the parking lot and notice the flat tire. And all you can think about is the HUGE stack of papers waiting to be graded.
Ever been there? Yeah. Me, too.
Everyone has moments of feeling stressed out, overwhelmed, overscheduled, and overburdened. But not everyone knows how to deal with those feelings or how to minimize them or how to eliminate some of them completely.
That’s where this course comes in.

Your Instructor
Hi, I'm Dan Tricarico. I'm author of The Zen Teacher: Creating Focus, Simplicity, and Tranquility in the Classroom (DBC, Inc. 2015) and Sanctuaries: Self-Care Secrets for Stressed Out Teachers (DBC, 2018). As a high school teacher, I got to a point in my career where I was not only watching excellent teachers around me crash and burn, melt down, and leave the profession, but I was facing certain burnout myself. I had to do something. So I developed The Zen Teacher 5 Step Blueprint and started helping teachers reduce their stress and improve their self-care. But then I realized that the concepts I was teaching worked for EVERYONE! Since using these methods, not only have I renewed my love for teaching, but I no longer worry if I'll make it to retirement. I have learned not only how to survive, but thrive both inside and outside the classroom. In my spare time, I enjoy writing fiction, listening to music (especially Roots Rock and The Blues), reading mystery novels, staring out of windows, and watching movies. One of my first loves is writing poetry, and I have published many poems both in print and on-line.
