Skipping Stones: A Memoir of Teaching

By Galen Leonhardy

Galen Leonhardy, a Marine Corps veteran, provides readers with a montage of written memories and visual imagery in this contemplation on the orthodox and unorthodox learning experiences that facilitated his development as an educator. Throughout the book, he pays special attention to the varied ways teachers influenced his development as a community college English teacher devoutly committed to the wellbeing of students.

In this narrative exploration of the development and practice of a modern English educator, Leonhardy reflects on early educational experiences, family relationships, growing up on archaeological excavations, undergraduate and graduate studies, professional challenges, and a variety of learning experiences garnered through a life-long involvement with his Nimiipuu himy ume-his Nez Perce extended family.
