Shattered and Becoming: A Teacher's Journey Between Policy Purpose

What happens when the systems meant to support inclusion begin to undermine it? How do educators remain grounded in their values when policies, power, and fear reshape the classroom? In A Teacher's Heart, Mr. Andrew chronicles a pivotal year in his teaching career, returning to the inclusive early childhood classroom with deeper experience and harder questions. Confident in what he believes about connection, belonging, and leadership, he is unprepared for how quickly curriculum mandates, language restrictions, and administrative pressure test those beliefs. Through relationships with children with disabilities, dual-language learners, families, and colleagues, Mr. Andrew confronts moments of rupture and resilience that force him to reconsider what it means to teach, lead, and stay human. A Teacher's Heart follows his journey of learning that inclusion is not sustained by certainty or compliance, but by presence, courage, and the willingness to remain open when clarity is hardest to find.
