Teaching in Magenta - by James Alan Sturtevant (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

What does it mean to teach in magenta?

Magenta is bold, it's vibrant, and the color holds noble qualities. Teaching in Magenta means creating magnificent days. It's a refreshing approach to teaching that puts your joy and well-being first so you can share those attributes with your students.

Veteran teacher and author James Sturtevant shares 100 paths for living and teaching in an authentic, enthusiastic, and relevant way. Take a few minutes each day to read a path or two, and gain energy and ideas that you can put into action the same day.

The book includes inspiring sketches, and the paths are divided into five qualities of well-being:

• Compassion
• Optimism
• Balance
• Adaptability
• Contentment

Find renewed joy in teaching, and soon your students and colleagues will notice how refreshingly magenta you have become.
