Educators and Administrators Praise Alphabet Meditations for Teachers
"Alphabet Meditations for Teachers is a most needed antidote to
the toxic side effects of our accumulated reactions to institutional
rigidity and regimentation; to models of efficiency that privilege
technocratic instruction over meaningful and organic teaching and
learning."
--Caroline Eick, Ph.D.,
Assistant Professor, Education Department,
Mount St. Mary's University, Emmitsburg, MD
"Alphabet Meditations for Teachers tugs at the heart strings of all
teachers who yearn for wisdom in seeking the answers to those
struggles and frustrations faced by our profession. Nestled in the
honest questioning and prayers are answers for teachers regarding
the spiritual power of teaching and the magnificent ignition of discovery,
laughter, and true community in our classrooms."
--Sherry Henderson, Principal,
Trinity Episcopal School, Marshall, TX
