The Stay Grounded PLC & Discussion Guide was created to help schools, teams, and educators move beyond surface-level conversations about burnout and into practical, reflective discussions about clarity, boundaries, emotional sustainability, and invisible work in education.

This free companion guide is designed to be used alongside Stay Grounded: Find Clarity. Set Boundaries. Protect Your Energy. It provides structured discussion prompts, reflection activities, and practical applications that make the book easy to use in:

• Professional Learning Communities (PLCs)
• Teacher book studies
• Coaching groups
• Leadership teams
• Mentorship programs
• Staff wellness initiatives
• Independent reflection

Rather than focusing on “doing more,” this guide helps educators examine the systems, expectations, and invisible pressures that quietly drain energy over time.

What’s Included

Each chapter guide contains:

• Discussion questions for small groups
• Reflection prompts
• Practical application activities
• Conversation starters appropriate for school settings
• Tools for identifying invisible work and cognitive overload
• Opportunities for individual or team reflection

The guide is intentionally structured to support thoughtful discussion without requiring participants to disclose highly personal experiences or criticize leadership structures directly.
