Items related to THE MISSING HEART: Chronicles of an Educator
This is a story based on actual events of a woman who overcomes personal obstacles to achieve her lifelong dream of becoming an educator. She attains this and eventually gets a leadership position as a high school assistant principal. Over the years, however, she witnesses questionable administrative practices, implemented to boost students' standardized testing scores. Sexuality on campus, violence in classrooms, and school politics---it is also all in this book. Controversial, witty, and informative! This book is candidly narrated so that readers can get a glimpse of what takes place in the halls of academia. Pinney tweaks a story from the real inner workings of a public school system to capture the interest of everyone. No Child Left Behind legislation has certainly changed the way we educate children today.

From the Author:
"I don't think the public has any idea of what goes on behind closed school doors. This book gives a glimpse into why school admnistrators resort to high-stakes practices, all in the name of 'accountability'. I long for the return to the joy of learning and the passion of teaching. I made a gut-wrenching decision to make a public stand against the system---giving up my career as an educator after twenty-two years. This book is not only about the events that led to this, but is about the realization that we need to bring back 'the heart' into educating our children."
