"Join Professor Cara Furman, acclaimed author of Teaching from an Ethical Center: Practical Wisdom for Daily Instruction, as she explores important, foundational questions with gifted, practicing educators. What does it mean to teach from an ethical center? How can we benefit from this inquiry? Why does the concept of “doing what’s right” feel as if it’s more important now than ever?"
Cara's interviews include many teachers who bring a descriptive stance to their daily practice.
