What''s in Your Core? - An Educator''s Guide to Plugging Into Purpose and Perspective

This book is designed to help all educators get back to the CORE (Calling or Reason in Education) of what they love most about their chosen profession. What's in Your CORE re-centers and rejuvenates the reader by encouraging self-reflection and demanding action. The authors introduce and guide the reader through their ten "COREs," which can be thought of as "educational personality types" or a default purpose setting.

What's in Your CORE then takes purpose to the next level by discussing the unifying power of perspective-taking in others. It helps the reader to better understand and appreciate the perspective of their colleagues in order to efficiently work together to achieve school goals.

Readers will find it engaging, humorous, applicable and different from any professional book they've ever read. Whether you're a teacher, an aide, a principal, a district office leader, or anyone in between, this book is for you.
