Breaking Down Barriers, Building Relationships, and Engaging Secondary Students
Are you burning out due to conflict with students? Do you lose sleep worrying about the students who are on a path toward dropping out? This book will help you learn how to understand, connect with, and engage students in deeper ways, changing the trajectories of their lives and yours. Discover strategies to change limiting beliefs in yourself so that you can help your students do the same.
Strategies for positive classroom environments
In Flip the Script, the authors propose that to build relationships with and engage students, educators must examine core beliefs and assumptions that create unintentional barriers to supporting students. Through self-exploration, empathy building, and real-life examples from five master teachers, educators can learn how to help students break down negative thought patterns and become engaged learners.
Secondary teachers can use this book to:
- Increase students’ enthusiasm and willingness to actively engage in class
- Use examples from five highly effective teachers to deepen pedagogy and develop exceptional skills and mindsets
- Approach student conflicts with authenticity and respect, using those experiences as opportunities to guide student growth
- Reframe how students see themselves as learners and increase students’ self-efficacy and hope for the future, changing the trajectories of their lives
