By many measures, teaching is the toughest ‒ and the most important ‒ job in America. To do it well, takes an ongoing and ever-fascinating conversation that engages the heart, mind, and spirit.
Our website is modeled on our poetry books, Teaching with Fire, Leading from Within and Teaching with Heart. In these books, we asked teachers to speak about who they are, why they do what they do, and how they keep their heart and commitment alive in their work and life. We asked them to reflect on these questions because we believe that what inspires and impassions teachers is worth sharing. We created this website to create a virtual community where teachers can continue to share about teaching and the teacher’s life.

Teaching is tough and demanding work. To do it well requires heart, courage, and unrelenting optimism. Teaching with Heart honors the heroic optimism of teachers and their belief that despite the many challenges of the teaching life much is possible. The book brings together teachers in creative dialogue with our most treasured poets.
