The Light We Share
"A teacher’s attention not only creates the connection with a student that makes learning possible, but gives the child the assurance they need to open their attention to wonder, exploration, and growth. It is this light, the awareness we share, which, directed as attention, is the most precious, essential ingredient of our work as a school.”
