Abstract: "Courage Work," based on the writings of Parker Palmer, often involves the use of poetry as a vehicle for exploring and examining teachers' inner lives. This paper discusses how poetry was used with a group of undergraduate preservice elementary teachers in the Fall 2004 term, to explore how students responded to the poetry, particularly in light of developing a personal sense of passion, courage, and wisdom. Using selected poems shared on a weekly basis, coupled with group discussion and individual journaling, the personal reflections of three students are presented. The reflections provide a unique insight into the "inner lives" of these potential teachers, as will as enhancing the instructor's understanding of each student. Suggestions for further explorations are also provided.
