San Diego local, Stuart Grauer, Ed.D., founder and head of school emeritus of The Grauer School, an independent school in Encinitas, is announcing his new book, “The Way to Pancho’s Kitchen: A Trail Guide for Small School Leaders.” Published by The Worthy Educator Press and available Saturday, April 4, this is Grauer’s third book. Through true poignant stories and lessons learned spanning the Grand Canyon to Encinitas, the book, described as an essential “trail guide” for the next generation of educational visionaries, will explore the art of leading small schools. On Tuesday, April 14, from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., The Grauer School will host an in-person and public book launch and signing in Meyer Hall. Guests are invited to RSVP for the event. “Seven years in the making, this book grew out of an epic journey of reflection, writing and conversation with educators around the world,” said Grauer. “Through vivid stories, from Baja and the Grand Canyon to forests, classrooms and communities closer to home, the book explores what becomes possible when schools are built as human-scale communities rooted in curiosity, connection and the wisdom of the natural world.” Early readers have hailed the book as “elegant,” “poignant” and “captivating.” Grauer’s expertise in education leadership is recognized regionally and globally. Before opening The Grauer School in 1991, he was principal of the International School of Basel in Switzerland and founding assistant director of Fairbanks Country Day. He has taught at both U.S. International University and the University of California, San Diego, specializing in international education and teacher development. He is a regular Chairman of School Evaluation Committees for the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). His ASCD Smartbriefs have been the most popular of the year, nationwide. He is the Founder of the Small Schools Coalition. He was awarded a Fulbright Educational Administration fellowship in 2007. He was named Peacemaker of the Year by Encinitas Rotary International and an Encinitas “Legendary Local,” as well as one of San Diego Magazine’s 50 People to Watch in 2008. Grauer was awarded The Author E. Hughes Career Achievement Award for 2014, which is the University of San Diego’s School of Leadership and Education Sciences’ top alumni honor. “We look forward to hosting Stuart for a special evening of stories, conversation and community as we celebrate the release of a book shaped by the spirit and people of The Grauer School,” said Dana Abplanalp-Diggs, M.Ed., head of school for The Grauer School. At the Grauer School’s book launch and signing, Grauer will be signing books, and guests will be able to bring a copy or purchase books on site. Both the paperback and a full-color hardcover gift edition will be available. The book is available for purchase now on IngramSpark and Amazon.
