Pinpoints and celebrates the vital role that educators have in instilling ambitious resilience both in their learners and themselves.

Growing up in poverty, and neglected and abused by her own parents, Jaz Ampaw-Farr was destined to become a statistic. Her story was changed, however, by a handful of teachers who made the point of putting human connection first despite the challenges of the education system. Because of these people, Jaz went on to become a teacher, writer and international speaker who, through celebration and provocation, engages and galvanises educators into embracing the difference that they can make when they put being a human first too. In Because Of You, This is Me Jaz shares her story - often harrowing but always uplifting to show the ways in which the everyday heroes in our schools can empower those children who need their help the most.

Suitable for all educators.
