"Don't hope for perfection, plan for growth." — Christine Hertz & Kristi Mraz.
In this edition of Heinemann's Book Talk Live, we're talking with authors Christine Hertz & Kristi Mraz about their new book, Kids First from Day One.
We started our conversation talking about how the book first came to be, quickly moving on to discuss:
Kristine Mraz is coauthor—with Christine Hertz—of the new Kids First from Day One, which provides a practical blueprint for increasing the child-centeredness of your teaching practice. She and Christine previously teamed up for the bestselling A Mindset for Learning (coauthored with Christine Hertz), which provides practical and powerful strategies for cultivating optimism, flexibility, and empathy alongside traditional academic skills. She primarily supports teachers in early literacy, play, and inquiry based learning. Kristi teaches Kindergarten in the New York City Public schools.
