Publisher Description
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.
● Experiment and engage in meditation practices to strengthen personal capacity for mindfulness and compassion
● Engage in hands-on writing exercises and self-reflection questions educators can ask themselves and then apply their personal growth to influence school policies and climate
● Gain perspective on compassion in schools through a multidisciplinary lens drawing from contemplative practices, psychology, and organizational change theory
Creating Compassionate Change in School Communities offers a valuable approach to integrating wellness into schools.

“Education has changed drastically in the past five years. This book humanizes the difficulty of the changes and provides tangible steps educators can take to support their students and the people many often overlook, themselves.”
— Autumn Rivera, 2022 Colorado Teacher of the Year and finalist for the 2022 National Teacher of the Year
