In Teaching for Purpose, Heather Malin explores the idea of purpose as the purpose of education and shows how educators can prepare youth to live intentional, fulfilling lives. The book highlights the important role that purpose--defined as "a future-directed goal that is personally meaningful and aimed at contributing to something larger than the self"--plays in optimal youth development and in motivating students to promote the cognitive and noncognitive skills that teachers want to instill.

In Teaching for Purpose, Heather Malin explores the idea of purpose as the purpose of education and shows how educators can prepare youth to live intentional, fulfilling lives. The book highlights the important role that purpose--defined as "a future-directed goal that is personally meaningful and aimed at contributing to something larger than the self"--plays in optimal youth development and in motivating students to promote the cognitive and noncognitive skills that teachers want to instill. Based on a decade of research conducted at the Stanford University Center on Adolescence and infused with the engaging voices of purposeful youth, Teaching for Purpose offers a fresh, inspirational guide for educators who are looking for new ways to support students to succeed not only in school, but in life. "Teaching for Purpose offers educators practical ways to carry out what is possibly the most important part of their work: seeing the humanity in their students by acknowledging and encouraging their hopes and dreams, and then helping them to develop the skills and confidence for putting those hopes and dreams into action." --Vicki Zakrzewski, education director, Greater Good Science Center, University of California at Berkeley "It is no small feat for many of us to find our own purpose let alone to teach and to cultivate it in others. That's why this deeply wise, practical, wonderful book is so welcome. Malin makes a powerful case for putting purpose at the heart of schooling, and gives us exactly the road map we need for enabling children to develop meaningful, humane, and thriving lives." --Richard Weissbourd, senior lecturer in education and faculty director, Making Caring Common, Harvard Graduate School of Education Heather Malin is the director of research at the Stanford University Center on Adolescence, where she conducts research on diverse aspects of purpose development.
