The Heart of This Book
This book contains 60 pick-up-and-go discussion-based lessons that help you spread genius and joy across the content areas—in English language arts, social studies, STEM, and arts and culture. The lessons are designed to be taught in 40 minutes or less, wherever learning happens, whether it be in the classroom, the home, or community spaces. They can be delivered by anyone with a heart to nurture and engage children, which may include teachers, paraprofessionals, parents, caregivers, leaders, afterschool coordinators, and community advocates. Centered on culturally and historically responsive education, the lessons fuel pursuit- driven learning as students focus on topics through the lenses of identity, skills, intellect, criticality, and joy. A rich collection of meaningful topics and texts builds background knowledge and sparks discussions that move genius and joy into action.
To see what I mean, give these sample lessons a try—and accept my thanks for considering Nurturing the Heart and Mind for your professional library.
Kindest regards,
Dr. Gholdy Muhammad
