Publisher's Synopsis
Underlines the importance of the caring classroom where each member should feel secure, challenged and supported and where each is given the opportunity to care, where compassion and humility are seen as more important than self-interest and self concern. These principles are, as the author suggests, applicable to all educational contexts, to elementary primary classrooms, pre-schools, secondary and high school classrooms and tertiary education. This is a text that is concerned with a range of key educational issues; the use of time and importance of professional integrity.
