Publisher's Synopsis
The principles of TEACH--trust, engagement, asset-building, care, and hard work--are the basis of this inspirational guide to improving teacher-student relationships. Eighteen teachers from across the country share their secrets of how to encourage responsibility, empathy, and hard work--qualities that lead to academic and personal achievement--in their everyday interactions with students. Rooted in the Developmental Assets™ approach, these narratives seek to foster the concrete, commonsensical, and positive experiences and qualities essential to raising successful young people.
