Reviews

Havens of Hope is the right book at the right time. As educators emerge from the Covid-19 Global Pandemic, they'll be faced with the decision to step back in time or launch forward, equipped with the lessons learned, to redesign the learning experience to one that is relevant for today's modern learners. A thought-provoking read, Havens of Hope provides the insight, reflection, and practical ideas for educators to make the needed system changes a reality. --Thomas C. Murray, Director of Innovation, Future Ready Schools, Washington, DC In my many years working in early childhood education, I have always considered educators to be people of great strength, resilience, and innovation. We are multitaskers caring for many children at once and looking out for the best interest of all. Times like the pandemic show our true colors in an even brighter way. In Havens of Hope, Shira Leibowitz takes us into classrooms around the country for a rare glimpse at the many complexities we experienced during the pandemic as well as the overpouring similarity of our hearts to do what's best for children and their families. --Gigi Schweikert, CEO, Lightbridge Academy What an uplifting story of educator resilience during the worldwide coronavirus pandemic! Shira Leibowitz asks whether the crises planted a seed for renewed excellence in education. Then she tells us stories of educators who worked through the pandemic with joy, creativity, continuous improvement, and profound commitment to the values that have shaped our profession. This insightful book is an energizing and hopeful reminder of the importance of both what we do in practice--and who we are as practitioners. --Valora Washington, PhD, CEO, The CAYL Institute
