Ashley Potvin and William Penuel will speak about and sign their new book, Creating Compassionate Change in School Communities: Leading Together to Address Everyday Suffering in Schools, on Tuesday, September 9th at 6:30pm, at Boulder Bookstore.
About the Book:
Compassion and dignity provide an essential framework for building caring and inclusive schools. Many books focus on what teachers can do as individuals; Creating Compassionate Change in School Communities is different. This book focuses both on how educators can cultivate compassion within themselves and lead together to cultivate humanizing school environments.
Teachers, librarians, counselors, resource specialists, mental health professionals, and social workers who are working to create conditions for compassion and dignity in schools are all leaders who can impact change. Offering concrete evidence and case studies that showcase the power of compassion to create flourishing school communities and rejuvenate education, the book will help all educators better serve K-12 students with school cultures that promote healing. Compassion can be cultivated, dignity can be affirmed, and leaders need skillful means to do so--tools and practices that can help them develop compassion for themselves and others and see their own dignity and that of others.
