The Teacher’s Heart: Reclaiming Humanity in Education (Pre-Order)

“This book is a mirror, a compass, and a call to lead differently.”

The Teacher’s Heart: Reclaiming Humanity in Education is a timely and courageous exploration of how we restore trust, care and professionalism to the centre of school life. Written by Dr. Sarah Aiono, a former classroom teacher, this book invites educators and leaders to reflect, recalibrate, and reclaim the purpose of their work in a system that often forgets the people within it.

Grounded in lived experience and practical insight, this is not a book of quick fixes. It’s a thoughtful guide for those ready to lead with integrity, even when it’s hard.

Inside, you'll explore:

• How dehumanising structures impact teacher identity, workload and morale
• Why restoring autonomy and professional trust is essential—not optional
• What it takes to build relational school cultures that hold both people and performance
• Practical leadership frameworks for sustainable, values-led change
• Language to advocate for what matters—without abandoning what’s required
