Reach Before You Teach: Ignite Passion and Purpose in Your Classroom

Autor Paula P. Prentis, Christine K. Parrott, Amy K. Smith
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 noi 2013
The authors provide concrete ideas that inspire academic success, stimulate curiosity, and develop a strong sense of self among students AND teachers. When the self is supported and developed, students are more apt to reach their full potential because they have been provided a meaning in context. The authors hope to inspire educators to start incorporating the self into their curriculum and school climate using the steps they have created. The book contains many interventions illustrated by examples to help educators create an environment where the self is engaged and working in synchrony with academic instruction.

Recenzii

"This book is filled with useful material that will help educators better relate to their students and empower them to reach their full potential."
"This book is a must for all educators wanting to help students understand their emotional 'Self' and its impact on their academic and future success."
"With the growing focus on mental health issues in our communities today this book is a much needed publication and very timely.  Thanks to the mental health professionals who worked to make this easily applicable to the school environment and to give school professionals guidance in how to structure our schools so that students develop a strong sense of self."
"This book is a must-read for all who want to encourage self-awareness and self-reflection during classroom instruction and help students feel more connected, curious and confident! Students no doubt will achieve emotionally and academically with help from some strategies in this book."
"In our present education system that seems to be caught up with numbers and standardization, Prentis’ book is a welcomed read. Education will never improve if we don’t make the social-emotional skills of children our first priority."
