Connecting in Your Classroom 18 Teachers Tell How They Foster the Relationships That Lead to Student Success

The principles of TEACH--trust, engagement, asset-building, care, and hard work--are the basis of this inspirational guide to improving teacher-student relationships. Eighteen teachers from across the country share their secrets of how to encourage responsibility, empathy, and hard work--qualities that lead to academic and personal achievement--in their everyday interactions with students. Rooted in the Developmental Assets(TM) approach, these narratives seek to foster the concrete, commonsensical, and positive experiences and qualities essential to raising successful young people.Starkman, Neal is the author of 'Connecting in Your Classroom 18 Teachers Tell How They Foster the Relationships That Lead to Student Success', published 2006 under ISBN 9781574828580 and ISBN 1574828584.
