About this listen

Check out Regie’s video welcome and companion website

"I will speak to you of what I’ve learned and what I’m still struggling with, professionally and personally, not just as a teacher and colleague but also as a wife, daughter, mother, grandmother, friend, and concerned citizen. I want to lift you up - to nourish your heart, mind, and spirit." --Regie Routman

How do we find hope and possibility in challenging times? How do we bring our truest selves into our teaching and personal lives? In this unique, inspiring book, beloved author Regie Routman artfully blends stories and strategies to show how we can introduce more joy and gratitude in our classrooms and in our lives.

Regie invites us to focus on what matters most in our work and in our relationships with those we hold dear. She shares ideas and practical takeaways for teaching, learning, and living:

  • Seeing and celebrating each learner’s gifts and strengths
  • Creating a storytelling culture
  • Ensuring equitable opportunities for all
  • Co-creating welcoming spaces and routines
  • Developing professional knowledge
  • Championing the reading-writing connection
  • Fostering resilience and hope
  • Taking care of ourselves and our students
  • Making a worthy difference

"Here’s what I know for sure," writes Regie. "Living a good life is about developing, nurturing, and sustaining caring relationships—in our teaching lives, our home lives, and in the happy intersection of both." Wherever you are on your journey, no matter what loss or hardship you may face, The Heart-Centered Teacher will offer you a refreshing chance to pause, take a breath, and reflect on how you and your students can live more compassionate, generous, and authentic lives.

Critic reviews

“I love this book! Regie’s stories connect us, teach us, cause us to reflect and think. They show us that much of what we are experiencing now we have lived before, and remind us of the best practices that must shine through. I take away hope, inspiration, and renewed energy for life and for the field of education. An inspiring book for all!”

GAIL BOUSHEY, Teacher and Author

“Regie Routman has crafted a personal love letter in the perfect book with the perfect words at the perfect time. From the first page to the last, Regie invites us to pull up a metaphorical chair and linger as she bathes us in life lessons and sage advice that we need most in challenging times. Across every page, we soak in her wisdom, leaning into her stories of hope, love, and possibility that loom large in our view.

MARY HOWARD, Literacy Consultant and Author

“As always, Regie has written the book that teachers need for this specific time in our world. Weaving together all that is happening in literacy education, Regie’s words keep us grounded in making sure our work with children is authentic, joyful and research-based. Her book lifts teachers up, and gives us both wisdom and hope as we navigate our work with children and colleagues.”

FRANKI SIBBERSON, Past President of NCTE, Educational Consultant, and Author

Excellent!

Great reminder of what works for one may not work for all. Caring and relationships continue to be “underrated” and should be at the heart of what every educator should do!
