'Very powerful and user-friendly. If this book is carefully and intentionally implemented in schools, student performance will improve and principals and teachers can help eliminate achievement gaps' - Steve Hutton, Educational Consultant, Villa Hills, KY

Even the best headteachers and teachers need additional inspiration and energy to motivate students and even themselves. This inspiring handbook shows them how to upgrade their performance in the classroom and schoolwide. Using evidence-based strategies, John Le Tellier provides a catalogue of practised "moves" to help create an empowering classroom climate, reinforce content, and increase or sustain motivation.
You will also explore four connections to becoming an impactful leader. The Context Connection creates the "moves" to establish empowering classroom context and the Cognitive Connection updates educators on the latest breakthroughs in neuroscience. The Character Connection establishes character education's importance to leadership practice, and the Classroom Connection develops strategies for accelerating learning, strengthening classroom management, and upgrading energy. Learn to:
• Improve teaching effectiveness
• Improve student motivation
• Strengthen student character
• Implement and support leadership in the classroom
• Renew teachers' energy and passion for their profession
Each chapter includes Leadership Notes that show you how specific moves can be used for leadership initiatives.
