    What People are Saying About This

    From the Publisher

    "Kanold and Boogren manage to gently weave the importance of educator wellness into the educational arena, peeling back the layers of humanness and the interconnectedness that bind both student and educator in heart and suffering. The capacity for educators to build a sense of agency is carefully crafted through exploration of four dimensions—physical, mental, emotional, and social wellness— and through self-care, self-compassion and reflection practices that are paramount for being at our best and finding balance in unprecedented times of challenge and stress."

     

    Michele M. Rivers Murphy, associate director, Heart Centered Learning
