Heart at the Center is an urgent call for truth, love, and justice for every educator and community member who deeply dreams of and seeks peace. Beauty is manifested on each page.
Gholnecsar (Gholdy) Muhammad, Associate Professor of Curriculum & Instruction at the University of Illinois ChicagoIn Heart at the Center: An Educator's Guide to Sustaining Love, Hope, and Community through Nonviolence Pedagogy, high school teacher Mike Tinoco examines what it means to reimagine classrooms and schools as spaces that humanize, resist violence and injustice, and center love.Offering both a framework and a set of practices that are grounded in different nonviolence traditions, Heart at the Center asks readers to consider what a pedagogy of nonviolence looks like, sounds like, and feels like in the classroom.Written with warmth, expertise, and humility, Mike Tinoco invites us into his classroom, drawing on stories from his own life and powerful examples from civil rights movement leaders to explore questions such as:

  • How do we create classrooms and schools that match our vision for the kind of world we dream of?
  • How can we challenge conventional classroom management practices, and instead truly nurture relationships with and amongst our students to foster positive peace?
  • How can we create and adapt curriculum to be inclusive of our students’ lives, centering community, healing, and justice?
  • How can we slow down and take care of ourselves without compromising the urgency to fight for justice? When can voluntary suffering meet our needs and empower us?
  • How can educators build community with one another and create their own professional opportunities that support collective care?
Heart at the Center is a book for educators who believe that a different kind of classroom, a different kind of school, and a different kind of world are possible.
