Teaching asks so much of you. Your mind, your heart, your time.
Daily Sparks was created to help you give yourself something back.
This book offers 180 brief reflections, or "Sparks," each designed to inspire self-awareness in the midst of a busy teaching life.
Each “Spark” offers a moment to pause, breathe, and rediscover the joy and purpose that brought you here. Use them as a daily reminder that your well-being isn’t optional—it’s essential.
Every ten reflections, a Pause & Reflect page gives you space to notice growth and celebrate small wins along the way.

Focusing on the good
Teaching has always required heart, but lately, it’s required more of it than ever.
Between new programs, shifting expectations, and the constant push to meet every need, it’s easy to forget that the person holding the classroom together—you—deserves care too.
Resilience is about finding balance, embracing calm, and choosing optimism in the moments that matter most.
It’s the foundation that allows you to keep showing up—with presence, grace, and strength—for your students and for yourself.
Daily Sparks reminds us that caring for our own well-being is the secret to sustaining the work we love.
