Inside, you′ll find: Strategies, tools, and reflection questions to help you identify the challenges at your school Eye-opening stories based on the experiences of real educators in a variety of roles and settings The stages of psychological safety and insights into the ways our relationships, teams, and school cultures can foster belonging and trust Research supporting the need for psychologically safe workplaces—not just for our benefit, but for our students’ How we treat one another at work impacts our well-being as well as our career satisfaction and performance.

Download or read book Satisfaction written by Jerein Jaye Harris and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-02-16 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My aspiration for romance inspired me to write Satisfaction. I wanted to show just how romantic and sensual I can be, especially at a young age. The readers probably missed the fact that Jermaine, which is the name of the main character in Satisfaction, is actually my middle name. I pictured myself as if I was in his situation. I wrote the book as if I was trying to get the love of my life back. I guess you could say that I based Satisfaction off my real-life experience with love. First, writing was a way to relieve my stress, and then it became a hobby when I started getting creative with it. Then I realized I could be the master of romance from the way Jermaine proposed to Nicole at the end. I did not realize how romantic I could be until I finished writing Satisfaction. I thought about what I had to do to go above and beyond for my girlfriend, my fiance, or my wife.
