Educate Me! - Walker Shree

We must change ourselves to be able to educate others.

Education is about change. 

At its most fundamental, the purpose of educating others is creating change in thinking, understanding, and behavior-positively influencing the trajectory of students' lives. But making change requires courage, and we can't see how to meet students' needs until we know how to meet our own. Educators need the courage to make their voices heard and the boldness to earnestly engage with the opinions of people they don't necessarily agree with or even like. Whether it's changing our beliefs, changing the way we communicate, or changing the way we make decisions, Dr. Shree Walker knows the challenges and fears educators face. She also knows that when she faced her own fears, her confidence grew and she became a better communicator, a better facilitator of change, and a better decision-maker. 

That's why she's written this book about problem solving with diverse learners for diverse learners. Educatore Me! is Dr. Walker's guide for educators who want to make change and find the belief necessary to overcome the inevitable pitfalls ahead when they do. In it, she shares moving, almost unbelievable stories and inspiring strategies to help those who want to enact real change for their students. This book will challenge you to become a highly effective agent for change and support you as a powerful advocate for your students.
