The Heart of Teaching program is easy to use and one of the most powerful teacher recognition and motivation programs available - a program focused on teaching as a art. It contains all the tools needed to help your professional educators understand their importance. It is ready to use when you receive your kit.

This program is divided into three parts:

1. The Art of Teaching video - a short, powerful video touching on the artistic role the teachers play in the future of the young people with whom they work.

2. The multimedia customizing kit - a simple to complete storyboard and sound track to allow you to create a powerful visual show reinforcing each of your staff in their role of teacher/artist.

3. A workbook featuring many ideas and resources for helping you help teachers recapture the respect they deserve on an ongoing basis quickly and easily.

You may use these tools in any number of ways. We suggest you develop a year-long plan utilizing as many of these ideas as possible. The constant reinforcement of the value of great mentoring and modeling will only enhance your faculty's self image, and teachers who feel good about themselves are the best ambassadors to help the community feel good about teaching!

Everything you need to make this program a reality in your school is in this kit. It is simple to understand, easy to assemble and powerful in presentation.
