What if school were also about cultivating students to be caring, community-involved citizens and critical, creative thinkers who love to read?
In Caring Hearts & Critical Minds, teacher-author Steven Wolk shows teachers how to help students become better readers as well as better people. Wolk demonstrates how to integrate inquiry learning, exciting and contemporary literature, and teaching for social responsibility across the curriculum.

Caring Hearts & Critical Minds shows teachers how to turn these hopes and goals into reality. About the Author. National Geographic - Inspiring People to Care About the Planet Since 1888.
