Teachers DO Make a Difference
The Teacher’s Guide to Connecting With Students
Foreword by Bonnie Benard
Teachers make a difference not only in what their students learn about content, but in what they learn about life!
Closing the achievement gap and creating high-performing schools depends not on what we teach but how we teach. The most effective way teachers can help students overcome negative influences in their environment is by developing close and caring connections with them. Deiro gives teachers strategies, guidelines, and real-life examples of how to build close and trusting teacher-student relationships. This important new resource covers key topics including:
- Setting high expectations for students
- Conveying confidence in student capabilities
- Creating classroom rituals and traditions
- Networking with family and community
- Communicating appropriate caring and respect in the classroom
