Wherever you are on your journey, no matter what loss or hardship you may face, The Heart-Centered Teacher: Restoring Hope, Joy, and Possibility in Uncertain Times will offer you a refreshing chance to pause, take a breath, and reflect on how you and your students can live more compassionate, generous, and authentic lives.

"What do you know to be true?"
In this conversation with educator and author Tan Huynh, we talk about bringing our humanity into the classroom, focusing on learners' assets, "seeing" possibilities vs. limitations for learners, the importance of a whole-part-whole approach to teaching and learning, the reading-writing connection, and living a full life. "We underestimate what people can do." Listen here or at Tan's podcast space.
In this video interview and conversation with educator, author and coach Matt Renwick, we discuss the importance of building trusting relationships schoolwide, the role of coaching in professional learning, using instructional walks to highlight students’ and teachers’ strengths and efforts, collaborating with students and the school librarian to build a school library where students are empowered to set the budget, order books, and make decisions about how the library works best, and growing professionally and personally—to name some topics we discuss.

This beautiful book is written for educators, but it offers so much for others about living life authentically and joyfully. It’s memoir-like quality makes the reader feel as though it’s just for them.
