Description
Fulfilling the Promise of your Professional Life as a Teacher and Leader
In SOUL!, author Timothy D. Kanold shares his own reflections and anecdotes, as well as wisdom and research from various teachers and leaders, to inspire and guide educators through their professional journeys. A follow-up to the best-selling book HEART! Fully Forming Your Professional Life as a Teacher and Leader, SOUL! aims to help educators continue the work started in HEART! by reflecting on the obstacles they face and generating healthy responses to those obstacles.

No matter where readers find themselves in their teaching and leading careers, SOUL! will help them lead fulfilling work lives and ensure their students and colleagues flourish.
