Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Supporting the Wounded Educator
Dardi Hendershott · 2020
82/100
👍 Worth It
Dardi Hendershott addresses a real crisis — the compassion fatigue and accumulated trauma that quietly hollow out teaching careers — with the kind of direct, personal warmth that earns trust from an audience that has often been told to simply be more resilient. The Routledge publication lends professional credibility, and the reflective questions make each chapter immediately useful in both individual and PD settings. This is a genuinely useful book for a profession that needs it.
