Heart at the Center : An Educator's Guide to Sustaining Love, Hope, and Community Through Nonviolence Pedagogy

Offers both a framework and a set of practices for building classroom communities in grades 6-12 that are grounded in nonviolence pedagogy. Provides educators with powerful examples from his own life and those of civil rights movement leaders to explore questions such as: ? How do we create classrooms and schools that match our vision for the kind of world we dream of? ? How can we challenge conventional classroom management practices, and instead truly nurture relationships with and amongst our students to foster positive peace? ? How can we create and adapt curriculum to be inclusive of our students' lives, centering community, healing, and justice? ? How can we slow down and take care of ourselves without compromising the urgency to fight for justice? When can voluntary suffering meet our needs and empower us? ? How can educators build community with one another and create their own professional opportunities that support collective care?
