“No significant learning occurs without a significant relationship.”

“It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken adults.”

“If children feel safe, they can take risks, ask questions, make mistakes, learn to trust, share their feelings, and grow.”

“Putting your students’ emotional needs first is important because without feeling safe and understood, no instructional strategy will be effective.”

“Be sure that in your educating you are not manufacturing obedient citizens, but rather unleashing powerful, creative souls… 

While it is important to educate children, what is much more pressing is the need to love them. When education becomes more important than love, it is no longer education at all. For, tending to the delicate spirit of children is foundational if education is to fulfill its intended purpose of serving the greater whole.”
