- "In Mindful School Communities: The Five Cs of Nurturing Heart Centered Learning, authors Christine Mason, Michele M. Rivers Murphy, and Yvette Jackson make the case for a new system of schooling that prioritizes the social and emotional needs of the learner to the benefit of both students and educators.

As such, the authors offer the reader an in-depth guide to heart centered learning and its implementation.

This book also provides a wealth of real-world exercises and strategies meant to implement and sustain heart centered learning in schools. Furthermore, in order to ensure the success of Heart Centered Learning in schools, the authors have built the system on a wealth of research. In this book, readers will find a research backed guide to the development of a new, compassionate system of schooling, as well as all of the tools needed to bring their system to life"-- Provided by publisher.
