Educators often sacrifice personal time and energy to their students’ and school’s needs but when these sacrifices outweigh personal care, both teacher and student suffer. 

Today on the podcast, we’re bringing you a special preview chapter from Colleen Cruz’s new audiobook, Risk. Fail. Rise.: A Teacher’s Guide to Learning from Mistakes. 

In this excerpt from her book, we hear Colleen read the first half of the essay, “ Martyrs Make More Mistakes.” She writes how the sacrifices educators make not only depletes their personal energy and goals, but also increases the frequency of harmful mistakes made in the classroom.
