Schools That Matter: Teaching the Mind, Reaching the Heart

Dr. Steve Van Bockern has spent his life attending and working in schools. In this book, he begins the conversation about how schools can be places where we would all be happy to send our children, our grandchildren, and even ourselves. Through his lifetime experience examining traditional and alternative school environments, Dr. Van Bockern created his “Schools That Matter” framework. Schools that matter to children and adults are places of well-being. Here adults and children alike stand safely in the center of the Circle of Courage and experience belonging, mastery, generosity, and adventure.
