In the course of their careers, every teacher needs to take the time to renew and rediscover their passion for inspiring others to learn. In Teaching With the Heart: Poetry That Speaks to the Courage to Teach, teachers, educators and administrators can benefit from the experiences of a diverse group of 90 teachers as they share stories and poems of joy, outrage, heartbreak, hope, commitment and dedication.

teaching With the Heart: Poetry That Speaks to the Courage to Teach (Wiley; May 2014; Paper format; $19.95) is filled with insights, stories and poems from all types of educators to encourage teachers to face each day with optimism despite the challenges they'll face on their vocational path.

With poems by Emily Dickinson, Richard Wright and even Tupac Shakur included, teachers and administrators will find a poem that speaks to them and can aid their professional development.

Organized by themes like "Deciding to Teach" and "Cherishing the Vocation", readers will discover that this is more than a collection of poems. This book includes narratives from industry professionals, and can be used as part of teacher training, before or after certification.
