As the end of the school year approaches, so too ends the first year of my book being out in the world. One of the amazing things about writing a book is that you send it out into the universe and hope good things come out of it, even when you’re not sure what exactly is going on yourself! Hmm… sort of how I feel about my two sons.
I’ve had the privilege over the year, however, to participate with one group of teachers at Roosevelt High School here in Minneapolis who chose to use the book as their group read for a year’s worth of conversation. I’ve gone over and met with them a few times to listen in on their discussions, hear how the book is going, and see what advice I might be able to offer as they work toward a supportive workplace and a rewarding personal experience.
It has been wonderful to see good conversation, difficult questions, and thoughtful solutions come out of the process. So kudos to Jeanne Bakke and her colleagues at Roosevelt for taking the leap into this work and thank you for letting me be a part of it!
