Editorial Reviews

Review

 "This new edition provides immediate help to all who work to improve our public schools."

(Sam W. Swofford )

"A great resource for teaching that character matters in furthering the ideals on which this country has been built!"

(Carol Russo, William Lloyd Garrison School )

"The ‘soil’ of our schools has lost a nurturing ingredient that is essential to give life to the ideas and the efforts of educators. That missing nurturing ingredient is the school’s moral mission . . . DeRoche and Williams have written a sound and practical book not only for educators but for anyone interested in learning exactly how schools can navigate these often shoal-filled waters."

(Kevin Ryan, From the Foreword, "Educating Hearts and Minds, 2nd Edition" )
