Educating children is not simply about preparing them to succeed in a career or make their car payment. Rather, education should include nurturing the field of imagination that lives in each one of us. With his unique combination of poetry and insightful commentary, David gives a fascinating and inspiring talk on seeing the imagination as our surest compass as we move through life.

David Whyte grew up with a strong, imaginative influence from his Irish mother among the hills and valleys of his father’s Yorkshire. He now makes his home in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The author of twelve books of poetry and four books of prose, David Whyte holds a degree in marine zoology and has traveled extensively, including living and working as a naturalist guide in the Galapagos Islands and leading anthropological and natural history expeditions in the Andes, Amazon, and Himalaya. He brings this wealth of experience to his poetry, lectures, and workshops. David’s life as a poet has created a readership and listenership in three normally mutually exclusive areas: the literate world of readings that most poets inhabit, the psychological and theological worlds of philosophical inquiry, and the world of vocation, work, and organizational leadership.

I came across this years ago and was galvanized by its wisdom for teachers. In my opinion, it's a treatise on teaching and its fundamental assumption that teaching is both occupation AND vocation should be instilled into every teacher's approach to teaching children. Get it... you won't regret it.
