The Care and Feeding of a Teacher is a hybrid memoir, rant, instructional guide, tell-all, inspirational speech, and work of art rolled up into the dictionary format — just like education — wildly chaotic, creative, emotional, factual, and always in alphabetical order.

Brenda Preuss is mad! She's mad about the way teachers are being treated. She wants to help them and believes that she can with this book. She wants other teachers to be able to read this book and feel validated and loved on.

She also wants administrators to read this book and say, “Oh wow. I forgot what it was like to be a teacher. I’m going to be nicer to them.”  She wants parents to read this book and run out and thank their kid’s teachers with a kind note or a treasured gift card.

She wants professional educators of future teachers to use this book to prepare their newbies for the REALITY of teaching — not just the theory-based, so-called, research-based bulls** that they exit college with. She wants lawmakers to read this book and GET A CLUE! 

WARNING — TRUTH Forthcoming!  

This book may offend you. It may open your eyes and touch your heart. It may cause you to cry, scream, shout, and laugh out loud. It will not hold back. It will tell the whole truth. A teacher's truth. It may name names, and point fingers, and not protect the not-so-innocent. It will be vulnerable and brutal. It will contain words like f*** to express the author's anger because SHE'S MAD!

If you can’t handle it, go get a different book. If you are ready to open your eyes, heart and, mind then get ready for some heavy SUMMER READING. (And, yes, there will be a test...) The Care and Feeding of a Teacher arrives July 2017. Purchase your copy today!
