Rezensionen / Stimmen
"I've been a teacher for the whole of my adult life, so I know one when I see one: Richard Brady is a teacher's teacher, and this book is a superb distillation of experiences from which all teachers can learn."-Parker J. Palmer, author of On the Brink of Everything, Let Your Life Speak, The Courage to Teach, and Healing the Heart of Democracy
"For teachers in particular, Walking the Teacher's Path serves as a 'bell of mindfulness', a way to remember what matters most and support teachers' awareness, resilience, and renewal. This is a must read especially in the virtual learning environment, supporting teachers in reflecting within and in taking compassionate action in our deeply interconnected world."-Valerie Brown, JD, PCC, Co-Author, The Mindful School Leader: Practices to Transform Your Leadership and School
"This work can be a catalyst for inspiring educators to develop a mindfulness practice, which in turn will be a great benefit to our students and our greater society."-Mr. Benjamin Marcune, Teacher, Alexander Hamilton Preparatory Academy, NJ
