Teaching from an Ethical Center: Practical Wisdom for Daily Instruction

In this special episode of NWP Radio, Stephanie Jones interviews Cara Furman, author of Teaching from an Ethical Center: Practical Wisdom for Daily Instruction, about bringing ethics, philosophy, and body-centered practices into teaching. They explore how children’s literature can expand students’ ethical thinking, the importance of care and love in teaching reading and writing, and how educators can honor their professional values while meeting institutional demands. This conversation offers teachers practical wisdom for nurturing both their students’ and their own wellbeing in the classroom.
