Living the Lessons

Living the Lessons is a unique guidebook for veteran and novice teachers who are seeking fresh ideas to inspire children to risk, work hard, persevere, and succeed. A staunch advocate of the Whole Child philosophy, Olivia strives to not only meet the academic needs of her students, but also their social, emotional, and moral needs. Her book is a rare opportunity for pre-service and in-service teachers to "step into her classroom" and see how she builds character in her students while inspiring them to strive for their full potential. Her students share that they work hard and listen to their teacher's lessons because they want to, not because they have to Truly, she has developed a powerful combination of relationship and scholarship.
