Did you know teachers have among the highest rates of urinary tract infections because sometimes we literally don't have time to pee?
If you're laughing because it's painfully familiar, this book is for you.
You care deeply about your students. You want to do excellent work. You probably entered teaching because you believed you could make a difference.
Somewhere along the way, making a difference may have turned into doing everything, staying late, working weekends, carrying problems you were never meant to solve alone, and still wondering whether you've done enough.
You have.
Teach & Still Have Time to Pee is not another book telling you how to become a better teacher. You already rock your teaching!
It's a guide to helping you stay whole while you do it.
The book's a homer. I think it should be read by every teacher and principal; maybe even more importantly, policy makers!-Erich Bolz, Vice President of Research and District Engagement, The Center for Educational Effectiveness
Drawing from more than 20 years in education, Jamie Johnson understands what it feels like to love the profession while becoming exhausted by what it asks of you. With humor, hard-earned wisdom, and practical strategies, she'll help you question the expectations that are draining you, set courageous boundaries, reclaim your time, and let go of the guilt that says caring about yourself means caring less about your students.
You don't need to become more dedicated.
You don't need to work harder.
You don't need fixing.
You need permission to stop measuring your worth by how much you can carry.
This book will help you trade overwhelm, exhaustion, and martyrdom for a healthier way of doing the work you love.
Your students don't need the most exhausted version of you.
They need the version of you who still has enough life left to laugh, connect, notice, and care.
There is no curriculum or training that will impact students the way happy teachers will.

Finally, someone who gets the mental, emotional, and physical drain that is teaching and instead of starting out telling me what I need to do to be better, the author starts out telling me to take care of ME! -Myree Conway, Early Education Teacher This book helped me find time to have a life. It helped me bring out the best in me for others and myself to enjoy. After reading this, I started going through my piles of stuff to see what is holding me back from experiencing joy in my life. If it doesn't meet my goals, I got rid of it. We don't have to do it all ourselves. -Kimberly Bouch, Middle School Teacher Jamie J's down to earth, funny and personalized writing is exactly what all teachers need to feel empowered, understood and stand as a team together with other teachers. Teachers are so under appreciated and this book makes me feel like I am worthy and that I am doing a good job! -Claudette Povey, High School Teacher The introduction alone hooked me. It called to me because it described me. I am that teacher with the pile on her desk, never saying no, always trying to do more. I'm also the teacher that is exhausted, pushing through and who needs to learn how to balance herself in her job and her life. I often feel alone in these feelings but just the introduction justified for me that I'm NOT alone! -Melanie Ford, Elementary Teacher
