The Zen Teacher

Creating Focus, Simplicity, and Tranquility in the Classroom

About this book

Teachers have incredible power to influence—even improve—the future. In The Zen Teacher, educator, blogger, and speaker Dan Tricarico provides practical, easy-to-use techniques to help teachers be their best—unrushed and fully focused—so they can maximize their performance and improve their quality of life. In this introductory guide, Dan Tricarico explains what it means to develop a Zen practice—something that has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with your ability to thrive in the classroom.

To Tatum Ann and Tessa Marie
You need not leave your room.
Remain sitting at your table and listen.
You need not even listen, simply wait.
You need not even wait, just learn to be quiet
And still and solitary.
The world will freely offer itself to you
To be unmasked. It has no choice;
It will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
—Franz Kafka
