While The Tact of Teaching provided the initial inspiration for our popular Dutch program Pedagogical Tact for Teachers, Max van Manen s new book deepens the phenomenon of (con)tact even further doing so at a pleasant pace and with profound thought, and thus instilling and strengthening the swift in-the-moment-tact that a teacher, parent or school leader needs in everyday situations, and sensitizing our awareness of the truly human, truly vulnerable beauty of the teaching vocation. Luc Stevens and Geert Bors, NIVOZ (Netherlands Institute for Educational Matters)
