5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use, great guide for self-care, asks some tough questions
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2020
I was given a copy of this journal and asked, as a special needs teacher, to give an honest review of it.

I found the journal to be very engaging and easy to use. I'm hard on myself and not inclined to give myself praise. This journal's format helped me do that. The format is visually appealing in many ways - smaller but very adequate areas in which to write so the task of writing doesn't seem overwhelming. The guiding questions are appropriate for teachers, although frankly, it was hard for me to answer some of them. I didn't like looking that far inside myself, I guess. The questions can bring out some tough emotions... but in a good way, and for a good reason. I think the guiding questions are very necessary and are ultimately for the best.

I like the fact that the author was a teacher herself and so knows what teachers face and where they may need support mentally. It really could be done in about 15 minutes a day, but if you use it properly, I think you'd want to spend a longer time working in it.

I would suggest perhaps varying the comforting but repetitive visual format more and leaving space for perhaps drawing about feelings, or offering poetry stems or other ways of expression for those who may not want to write. A companion journal, perhaps, with alternative ways to express feelings and take care of yourself as a teacher could also work, too. There is an area for overall reflections on the teaching year. I would have liked to have seen more along those lines. A lot of teachers are contemplating leaving the profession at any given time due to the increasing stressors and difficulties of the job. Maybe an area where those feelings could be explored, or career changes while remaining in education (like considering moving into administration, for example). That might also be too much for one journal to cover. Just thinking aloud about what I do feel is a helpful, well-designed product.

I am recommending this journal on my Facebook page to my fellow teachers, because I do think it offers good value and is a good guide for teachers to examine their feelings. I think the fact that it is created by a former teacher will help persuade teachers to try it for themselves. I recommend teachers take a look at this work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Aid to help teachers achieve balance in their lives
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2020
Arielle Haughee, having been a teacher herself, realizes the stresses which are impacting teachers in today’s world. This book, “Teachers’ Journal for Balance,” allows educators at all levels to review their school, home and personal lives on a weekly summary of twelve items, detailing successes as well as areas for improvement. I like that these are broken into four week section, then adding monthly insights and inspirations. While the questions are thought-provoking and do not require a great deal of time to answer, they ask the journalists be honest with themselves. The year-end wrap-up is not a closure but an opportunity to reaffirm aspirations and to achieve balance throughout areas in one’s lives. As an Advanced Copy Reader of this book, I do recommend this book for those charged with educating students young and old.

5.0 out of 5 stars A way to pause, reflect, and reframe your thoughts
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2020
This journal is very thoughtfully set up, and a great gift for a teacher in your life at any point in the year. Teaching is a one of a kind profession, where it is easy to feel your best isn’t enough because there is always more to be done. Teachers need a healthy mindset and ways to reflect on their days to recharge for an upcoming week. As a fifteen year educator, I am using this journal to put into practice mindfulness & I think as a former teacher, the author did an amazing job creating this thought tool!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Reflective Reminder
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2020
As a middle school teacher, especially in these trying times, I often forget to look after myself as well as my students. This journal provides a lovely way for teachers under stress to do a self-check, remember the good things, track their sleep and exercise choices, and in general help them maintain a healthy balance between work and self.
