Self-care is a topic that is often challenging in education. Educators are required to learn to teach, advise, and cope with organizational change as well as encourage their students to take responsibility for their actions, say no, identify burnout, establish a network of family and friends, schedule breaks, do things they enjoy, and take care of themselves physically. However, teachers often do not follow these guidelines themselves. It is important that teachers allow themselves the time and space to do the same things that they insist their students do. Moreover, it is important that administrators recognize and support these efforts as well. Self-Care and Stress Management for Academic Well-Being discusses why self-care for educators is needed in order for them to sustain the growth of the students at their institutions. It explores the ways in which educators devote themselves to helping students develop their creativity and their academic voices but do not always give themselves the same permission. Covering a range of topics such as physical care, stress, and self-advocacy, this reference work is ideal for researchers, academicians, practitioners, scholars, administrators, instructors, and students.

There is a growing need for social, emotional, and academic development (SEAD) in classrooms, schools, districts, and state offices of public education, but educators struggle to find a resource that guides them on these specific challenges. Educators need valid resources as a means to better prepare themselves to use SEAD within their work and support student success. Tangible evidence-based practices on SEAD implementation and how it mitigates leading challenges in education is a current need in the research community. Challenges such as school safety, discipline and restorative practices, and workforce readiness are a few challenges that are currently in need of being addressed. SEAD in school systems may be a solution for some of these areas of concern as well as providing additional benefits for students, educators, and school systems. Leading Schools With Social, Emotional, and Academic Development (SEAD) provides theoretical and applied frameworks for evidence-based strategies to embed SEAD practices into sustainable and measurable high-impact systems. SEAD advancements and successful applications in increasing student academic achievement, campus safety and school climate, adult SEAD skills, and family/parent and community engagement are discussed. This book is ideal for in-service and preservice teachers, administrators, teacher educators, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the applications and successful models of SEAD implementation in schools.
