Spirit Whisperer Idea Exchange

Spirit Whisperers give us hope. They help us create a vision of an educational system that doesn't perceive failure, that grants dignity without it needing to be earned, that holds the child in a state of grace, even as appropriate consequences are implemented. Spirit Whisperers help us lift our eyes, our hearts, and our spirits to see and remember again what is possible when the main purpose of education becomes the creation of whom, and what we choose to be.

Do you know a Spirit Whisperer? Send us a story. If it fits with our goal of helping others teach to a child's spirit, we will add it to the Spirit Whisperer Idea Exchange (info@chickmoorman.com).
