This book was first introduced in a class of my Fulbright exchanging period. I was deeply moved by pedagogy introduced in the book and also puzzled by how it could come to life, Inspired by the American “everything is possible” culture, I wrote to the author. Surprisingly, I got invitation to stay for a night with her and observe her class…
The book starts with an illustration of how discussion was fostered in the classroom- making connections through events that children encounter in the class, taking care of each other’s feeling aligning two simple and concrete classroom rules - be kind and work hard (because we want to flourish as a whole).
