Synopsis
Being with young children is like aerobics for the imagination, nourishment for the spirit
What ever happened to the passion of teaching? Driven by the test-crazed, test-driven, pressure-filled time we are living in, some teachers and in effect, children have unknowingly lost track of some of the love, fun, imagination and curiosity of teaching and learning.
Designed for anyone who loves and cares for children, Teaching by Heart is filled with 20 inspiring and thought-provoking essays that remind us all what teaching children is all about. From Mimi Brodsky Chenfeld, acclaimed early childhood educator and author, Teaching by Heart is a true celebration of children, teachers and everyone who loves them!
