There couldn't be a more timely course for Educators than Being the Change, and our instructor was especially informative and responsive to our need to process and internalize the activities & questions. The book, itself, is a fabulous resource & I'm certain I will be using it for all my classes now & in the future. But, having conversation and sharing insights as a class made it even more applicable to me personally.
