Publisher's Synopsis
"Emotions are an intrinsic part of student life that cannot be shut off. Whether stirred up at home or sparked on school grounds, how students feel-stressed and anxious, content and accepted-contributes significantly to their perceptions of success, sense of belonging, and subsequent behavioral responses. In Creating Emotionally Safe Schools, Second Edition, Jane Bluestein and Tom Hierck examine emotional safety, its repercussions on student learning, and measures schools can take to support students' emotional awareness, development, and needs. Understanding the psychological, social, and physical factors impacting students' emotional responses, readers will introduce thoughtful strategies into their classrooms to model healthy emotional expression, encourage community atmosphere and commitment, and nurture student self-awareness and self-directed behavioral management"--.
