Heart! (Fully Forming Your Professional Life as a Teacher and Leader)

This inspiring book presents the concept of a heartprint -- the distinctive impression that an educator's heart leaves on students and colleagues during his or her professional career. For teachers, understand how teacher motivation, teacher-student relationships, and collaborative teaching all affect your self-efficacy, career, and professional development. For school leaders and administrators, discover your impact on staff, students, and school culture as you progress in your career and gain perspective on creating sustainable change.

Happiness: a passion for teaching, a purpose, and a desire to positively impact education
Engagement: teacher motivation, energy, and effort necessary to impact student learning
Alliances: relationships, collaborative teaching, and teacher support
Risk: vision-focused risk taking to create sustainable change in schools
Thought: the knowledge and professional development integral to advancing your career
