After welcoming remarks from Ikeda Center Program Manager Lillian I, Center Events and Publications Coordinator Anri Tanabe moderated a half-hour panel discussion with Nuñez and Goulah. She opened by asking them to discuss the genesis of the book. Speaking first, Nuñez observed that her vision for the book goes all the way back to her years as a first-grade teacher, when she found that “if we weren’t having fun, kids weren’t learning as much.” Today, she maintains this same focus on creating joy in her teaching and in her position as Director of the School of Education at Purdue University Fort Wayne. Given the pressures today’s educators face, this is an essential act, she said.
