GT Educators coffee house is now open!

Welcome in to our safe haven! Mr. Jones has the fridge stocked with C2 (Pepsi drinkers are welcome too). Mrs. Jones has the coffee on strong.

We want to talk about gentleness. Gentleness in the workplace. Gentleness at home and at school. In the face of violence. Gentleness for mending broken hearts. Proactive gentleness for growing healthy children into strong adults.

There is a philosophy of care out there called Gentle Teaching, and as you may know, it is changing the face of care across this planet. Mr. Jones wants to talk about that, especially if you work with people with challenging behaviors due to intellectual disabilities or other life circumstances. He will even answer questions if you have.

Mrs. Jones wants those school grounds where our chitlins spend much of their childhood to be places of greater gentleness, and she wants to hear your take: on bullying, on teaching empathy (difficult!), on discipline, and more. Got some experiences to share? Spill!

So pull up a chair and get comfy. We've got a lot to chat about!

  • Am I the first? :)

    You two are fighting the good fight. It's about time that we start to talk about gentleness and respect - after being pounded by generations of "tough lovers". Rave on Joneses. I love you both.
