(Me around the time of this interview. I haven’t changed a bit.)
The interview took place in 2018, but it still perfectly captures the work I do and the reasons for it.
We discuss:
- Why Education: What called me into the world of education and what keeps me there.
- Why Teachers and Administrators: Why I shifted my focus toward teachers and administrators for systemic change.
- Schools as Holding Environments: Winnicott’s concept of “healthy holding environments” and how it applies to modern school culture.
- Why My Book: The origin story of my book, The Feeling of Teaching and the message I needed the world to hear.
- Ideal School: What my “ideal school” looks like.
Uhh! It’s all about me, but really it’s about my work. My great hope is that more and more teachers learn about and understand this work so they can get the support I know makes such a big difference in educators’ and students’ lives. If you feel like you or someone you know or your entire school needs help in teaching through their emotions, get in touch with me!
