Teaching and Leading with Emotional Intelligence

Peggy Daly Pizzo · 2017
75/100
👍 Worth It

Peggy Daly Pizzo, who directs Stanford's Early Learning Project, built a genuinely useful casebook here — real dilemmas about trauma, self-regulation, and tough classroom moments that early-childhood educators can actually sit with and discuss. It's a narrow audience, but for the people it's built for, this is a serious, well-credentialed resource.
