Vito Perrone invites you on an inspirational journey into Leonard Covellos classic memoir, The Heart Is the Teacher (1958). Covellos autobiographical book is one of educations important histories, and Perrones text reestablishes a crucial connection to that history. During his 45 years as a teacher and principal in the New York City Public Schools, Covello and a group of dedicated teachers, parents, and students created one of the first urban community schoolsBenjamin Franklin Community High School in East Harlemconcerned not only with academic programs but with the special needs of immigrant children. By returning to Leonard Covellos work and educational commitments, Perrone calls attention to matters of great urgency in the schools today: the new immigrants, intercultural education, advocacy for students and families, a curriculum of place, and the community school. Perrones reflective essay, reproduced with significant sections of Covellos own text (long unavailable to the public), makes Teacher with a Heart a unique account of how one of todays most respected voices in educational reform has been touched and changed by an extraordinary reformer from the past.This is an inspiring book which shows us much about what we should and could be doing for our young people.Eleanor Duckworth, Harvard UniversityThis book is for any educator interested in tackling the complex issues confronting our multiracial and multilingual society. It is a surefire democratic antidote to the reactionary trends that currently dominate educational policy discussions.Bob Peterson, Rethinking SchoolsThis book was very inspirational and deeply personal for me. It reminds us that teaching with a heart is the very essence of our work still today. This story gives us the courage to keep on struggling to make a better world for our children.Linda Nathan, Boston Art Academy for the Visual and Performing Arts, Boston Public SchoolsCovellos dispositions and practices were in his time exceptional, inspiring to many educators who worked with him and to many who know him only through his writings.Vito Perrone, from the PrefaceHalf a century as a teacher leads me to the conclusion that the battle for a better world will be won or lost in our schools.Leonard Covello, The Heart Is the Teacher (1958)
