Random Thoughts II: Teaching from the Heart
by: Louis Schmier

In Random Thoughts II, you’ll meet some of Louis Schmier’s history students at Valdosta State University, feel with them and celebrate with them as they struggle to see and tap the treasures within. Travel with Louis as he explores his own soul, as well as his own neighborhood, in a continuous search for the heart of each student–and the heart of teaching.

In this second volume of 70 Random Thoughts, Louis takes you on a revealing and often difficult personal journey. It’s a “long, strange trip” through which he realizes that “the heart of education is an education of the heart.” Random Thoughts II is an educational expedition to discover “the bedrock of each student’s human potential” – because teaching, Louis writes, “is like mining for gold.”
