“From the moment I opened “The Happy Camper Classroom” it resonated deeply with my educator’s heart … an inspiring an essential read for every teacher”.
Katie Novak, Ed.D.
The Happy Camper Classroom presents an inspirational platform for teachers, aspiring, and veteran, to transform their classroom, students, and themselves: One that captures both the feeling and whole-hearted engagement many associate with summer camp: Uplifting: Teaching toward kumbaya!
As you know, teaching today is not like anything you may remember from years ago; it’s a “first responder” profession; intense, complex, and requires a new framework highlighting personal resilience at the core. The Happy Camper Classroom provides time-tested resources, strategies, and various techniques shared through stories and real experiences in support of the four most important elements of the modern teacher tool-kit:
Relationship, Regulation, Relevance, and Resilience (self-care and personal strength)
Most notably, The Happy Camper Classroom encourages educators to take control of their classrooms as well as one’s personal space within; shifting from a reactionary self to a more reflective, responsive, and compassionate resilient self. It’s time for the next best practice to be something we truly believe in: Ourselves. This book was written for you!
