Educators are constantly being asked to do more with less. During these complex times, it can be difficult to find hope, yet, as John Gardner (1990) said, "the first and last task of a leader is to keep hope alive." Weaving Hope Through Our Education System is an invitation to emerging, novice, and experienced educators to reflect, a reminder to connect, and a call to action. In its pages, a diverse group of artists, educators, and leaders examine hope’s relationship with courage, connection, compassion, curiosity, and creativity. Through poetry, narrative, articles, interviews, and plays, authors respond to the prompt: How do you foster hope in our education landscape?

This soulful collection of teacher stories resonates with its fierceness, authenticity, and longing, indeed insistence, on ways we must move forward together in education. This diverse threaded collection, beautiful in its recognition of human imperfections and call for shared humanity, forms a collective blanket of sisterhood, solidarity, and inspiration in these times of hopeful awakening.—Dr. Yvonne Poitras Pratt, Métis Nation of Alberta Citizen, Associate Professor, Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary
