    In Teacher in the Cupboard: Self-reflective, solution-focused teaching and learning, Lisa Jane Ashes takes educators on a self-reflective journey that will inspire them to challenge the 'how to', tick-box approach to teaching.
    Even if all the problems in your classroom have been solved by the time you read this, plenty more would surface to take their place ... And while each problem has multiple solutions, you'll need your creativity in order to find them.
    In this book, Lisa explores how spending time 'in the cupboard' - a metaphor for removing yourself from a situation and seeing it through a more objective lens - can help teachers come up with creative solutions to everyday challenges and positively transform their classroom practice and human interactions.
    Teacher in the Cupboard encompasses Lisa's many and varied observations in education - and each chapter includes real-life experiences to make you think, as well as practical techniques to help educators avoid retreating into self-blindness: a common affliction that robs them of their perception of their own contribution as part of the teaching and learning process.
    Brimming with fresh perspectives, the book presents a wide range of innovative ideas to enable educators to harness the power of self-reflection and create a stimulating learning environment that produces excellent results for them, their students and their colleagues. It also talks teachers through a number of methods, approaches and resources that will enable them to instil in their learners a sense of satisfaction derived from the learning skills and behaviours being developed in the classroom. These materials are collated in the 'Resource Cupboard' section at the back of the book, offering adaptable - and downloadable - resources that Lisa has used to successfully enhance learning in the classroom.
    Suitable for NQTs, teachers and school leaders.

    So, this is how it often goes… even though you feel exhausted and cannot wait to get some relaxing good night’s sleep… when you get into bed and close your eyes, you just cannot seem to turn your mind off… your body feels tense… or you find yourself waking up every hour to check your phone. In an age of information and hustle, the natural rhythm of our bodies can often be easily disturbed… Your lifestyle, daily activities, diet, and emotional or physical well-being may all play a role in your body’s natural ability to fall asleep or enjoy deep sleep. While you may not have much control over how your day goes and how much caffeine you end up consuming to meet that deadline… imagine that the minute you get into bed is when you gain complete control over your mind and body 
    If it is difficult for you to disconnect from the day and make the decision to surrender to your body’s natural needs, you may consider creating a relaxing nighttime routine to help you with this. This may include putting your phone away from your bed, reading a book, journaling, practicing gratitude, and listening to this deep sleep meditation and affirmations. Regardless of what this may look like for you, consider this time as an opportunity to prep your mind and body to transition from an active state of doing to a state of relaxing. Let your body know that it is time to slow down and immerse itself in deep relaxation. 
    Centering our attention on our body, allows us to listen to it, acknowledge it and be aware of the cues it is giving us. When we lead hectic lifestyles or go through hardships, we disconnect from our bodies. Consider that nighttime is when you give love to your body by acknowledging all the hard work it did for you throughout the day… and invite it to relax and let go. By sending your loving attention to the different parts of your body, you are communicating that it is safe to let go and move into a state of relaxation

We have a lot on our plate. And those of us who are running our own businesses even more so.We are giving so much to the world around us.But things won’t shift until we get those birds on our shoulders to stop the negative chitchat.And the best fastest way to cut the self-doubt in its tracks is through meditation.And I make doing meditation dead easy.My MOVE collections are guided meditations.You don’t have to learn the ‘ins and outs ’of meditation. All you need to do is throw those earbuds in and drift off to sleep!Downloaded over 500,000 times on places like iTunes and Audible, my MOVE meditations don’t just ‘relax’ and distress, they are specifically designed to help you get MOVING and unstuck.So that you can finally live the life you have always wanted!“I have tried many downloads and this is by far my absolute favorite. I listen to it at bedtime to get me motivated for the next day and sleep like a baby. Wake up refreshed and ready to go and get things done. I listen to it during the day sometimes for a little extra incentive to keep going. This has been the best download EVER to get me to accomplish as much as possible.
