Welcome! Class begins January 14

Welcome to the Center for Collaborative Support's online book study of Heart!: Fully Forming Your Professional Life as a Teacher and Leader by Timothy D. Kanold. This “book presents the idea of your heartprint: the distinct impression an educator's heart makes on students and colleagues during his or her career. For teachers, understand how teacher motivation, teacher-student relationships, and collaborative teaching all affect your career and professional development. For school leaders, discover your impact on staff, students, and culture as you progress in your career. Kanold writes in a conversational manner, offering his own anecdotes and reflections on being a professional teacher, invites the reader to pen their personal reflections and voice, and helps readers uncover their impact on student learning to foster heart-centered classrooms and schools.”

This class consists of 8 one-week cycles. There is a tab at the top of the blog for each week of the class. I will send you reminder emails throughout the course with links to the appropriate page, but you are welcome to visit these pages ahead of time and work ahead if you'd like.
