Produktbeschreibung

12 Keys for Engaging At-Risk Students is a unique blend of story telling, practical advice for teachers, and most importantly it celebrates the power of making connections and believing in students. The book is divided into twelve chapters, the 12 Keys that facilitated high engagement and student achievement at Traner Middle School in Reno, Nevada. Teachers, administrators, and counselors will be inspired by the message of hope in each chapter, and appreciate the achievement of students through a curriculum that emphasizes critical thinking.

Student success is facilitated by teachers who practice a simple philosophy as stated by author Bruce J. Stewart, "teachers have an ethical imperative to connect with all students in the classroom. . . and by making connections with all students, we as teachers are ready and willing to teach those students who need us the most."

Bill Cosby writes: "The writer's experiences while teaching celebrate the human element of teaching, and recognize the resiliency and beauty of many students who overcame the obstacles of poverty to achieve success in education. The stories in this book demonstrate the power of connecting with students and engaging them in a relevant curriculum each and every day. Just wonderful."
