Daily Sparks: 180 Reflections for Teacher Resilience is a companion for educators who want to care for their own well-being while showing up fully for their students. Rooted in six resilient traits—Balance, Calm, Change, Happiness, Optimism, and Positivity—this book offers 180 brief reflections, or “Sparks,” each designed to inspire self-awareness in the midst of a busy teaching life.

With warmth, encouragement, and deep respect for the realities of the classroom, these pages invite you to pause, reflect, and build the kind of inner resilience that sustains both heart and practice. After every ten “Sparks,” a “Pause and Reflect” page offers space to breathe, write, and notice your own growth along the way.

Whether you’re a new teacher or a seasoned educator, this book is a gentle reminder: your well-being matters, your mindset makes a difference, and your resilience is something you can strengthen—one moment, one reflection, one spark at a time.
