"Amber's book simultaneously provides validation for struggling educators and a compelling call to action in this post - pandemic and politically charged environment. Although still somewhat exhausted myself dealing with the impact of the covid era, I found Amber's book gave me hope. All is not lost. It is not too late to help our nation heal." Jennifer Wolfe , NY High School Teacher and 2021 New York State Teacher of the Year "Amber Chandler's book, Reclaiming Connection , provides a profound analysis of contemporary challenges in education and society. Drawing from her extensive experience as both a parent and an educator, as well as incorporating insights from prominent thinkers and researchers, Chandler offers a critical examination of current issues. The work is distinguished by its combination of a critical perspective on present challenges with hopeful and thoughtful proposals for improvement, making it particularly resonant with readers who are seeking meaningful change in the field of education. I could not put it down as I did air fist pumps throughout my reading.
