“This manuscript is a breath of fresh air in so many ways as it highlights so many important aspects of education, yet from an authentic and genuine viewpoint. It highlights areas that matter tremendously in getting to the heart of what is happening on a daily basis in our schools.”

Lauren Smith, assistant director of elementary learning and high ability coordinator, Noblesville Schools, Indiana

“This book is a real game changer for teachers, guiding us back to what matters most: being real, making genuine connections, and staying strong, curious, and kind in the classroom. It’s all about finding your own voice, bouncing back, and remembering to give yourself a break—reminding us that teaching’s as much about heart as it is about smarts.”

Kevin Gallagher, data and computer science teacher and department leader, Keystone Oaks High School, Pennsylvania

“Meant for More offers a comprehensive and uplifting vision for classroom and school communities that reflects the humanity both teachers and students deserve. Angie provides tangible and practical tools for educators to honestly interrogate who they are and what they bring to their educational contexts. This research-based resource is equal parts personal, practical, and aspirational and it offers strategies and approaches that ensure readers understand that they and their students are meant for more.”

Katie White, author of Softening the Edges: Assessment Practices That Honor K–12 Teachers and Learners
