Each and every day teachers show up in their classrooms with a
relentless sense of optimism. Despite the complicated challenges of
schools, they come to and remain in the profession inspired by a
conviction that through education they can move individuals and
society to a more promising future. In Teaching with Heart: Poetry
that Speaks to the Courage to Teach a diverse group of ninety
teachers describe the complex of emotions and experiences of the
teaching life joy, outrage, heartbreak, hope, commitment and
dedication. Each heartfelt commentary is paired with a cherished
poem selected by the teacher. The contributors represent a broad
array of educators: K-12 teachers, principals, superintendents,
college professors, as well as many non-traditional teachers. They
range from first year teachers to mid-career veterans to those who
have retired after decades in the classroom. They come from
inner-city, suburban, charter and private schools. The teachers
identified an eclectic collection of poems and poets from Emily
Dickinson, to Richard Wright, to Mary Oliver to the rapper Tupac
Shakur. It is a book by teachers and for all who teach. The book
also includes a poignant Foreword by Parker J. Palmer (The Courage
to Teach), a stirring Introduction by Taylor Mali (What Teachers
Make), and a moving Afterword by Sarah Brown Wessling (Teaching
Channel). Where Teaching with Fire honored and celebrated the work
of teachers; Teaching with Heart salutes the tenacious and
relentless optimism of teachers and their belief that despite the
many challenges and obstacles of the teaching life, much is
possible.
