"Don't hope for perfection, plan for growth." — Christine Hertz & Kristi Mraz.
In this edition of Heinemann's Book Talk Live, we're talking with authors Christine Hertz & Kristi Mraz about their new book, Kids First from Day One.
We started our conversation talking about how the book first came to be, quickly moving on to discuss:
- How can teaching go beyond benchmarks?
- How is teaching "heart work"?
- What does it mean to be an empathetic teacher?
- What is the importance of the physical environment of the classroom?
- How do you define the difference between classroom management and classroom community?
All this, and more on this edition of Heinemann's Book Talk Live. Watch the full video below and be sure to follow The Heinemann Facebook page for more Book Talk Live events!
