Nobody Tells You This About Teaching: Lessons on Purpose, Perspective, and Sustainability from 25 Years in the Classroom

No one prepares teachers for the emotional weight of the profession. Lesson planning, classroom management, assessment, and instruction are taught, but burnout, boundaries, self-doubt, relationships, and long-term well-being are often overlooked.

In Nobody Tells You This About Teaching, Dr. Milton G. Harris draws on more than twenty-six years in education to share honest stories, practical guidance, and research-based insights. He explores what it takes to build a meaningful, balanced, and sustainable career while remembering that the work matters, and so do educators.
