Heart-Centered Teaching Inspired by Nature: Using nature's wisdom to bring more joy and effectiveness to our work with children - Paperback

Heart-Centered Teaching Inspired by Nature offers readers ways to use connections with nature to find strength and inspiration for their personal journeys so they can bring their best selves to their work with children. As author Nancy Rosenow describes, it is a guide to supporting children from "...a place of love for each other and a place of awe and appreciation for the wonders of the world around us."

Rosenow continues: "Over the years I've talked with many educators who've told me they simply could not find much time for themselves because the demands of work and home took every bit of time they could muster. I certainly understand. That was my own story for quite a while, but now I'd like to offer a new way of thinking. I'm convinced if we want to inspire children to become their best selves, we first have to become ours.

I believe the most important preparation for our work with children is to master the art of self-nurturing. For everyone's sake we simply can't afford not to make time for ourselves. We simply can't afford not to support ourselves in who we're authentically meant to be."

This quick read is filled with heartwarming photos and engaging ideas for making teaching more joyful and effective. This is an ideal choice for book clubs and educator groups.
