商品簡介
If you have teenagers in your life you know they need someone who cares about them. Chances are good a teacher is that someone, and Ridnouer draws from her experience in public and private schools and high school equivalency programs to counter distraction, disconnection and defiance. She reminds us that caring is an avenue to teaching, and part of caring is providing a stable, safe and stimulating environment in which teenagers interact with learning and teachers balance caring and discipline. She gives guidelines for interacting with students, getting past personality conflicts and building trust, handling common challenges such as noise and lack of cooperation, giving kids a sense of order and respect, making grades make sense, getting through a day, creating and meeting expectations and taking accountability, and learning to tap into students' interests. She provides reflection questions suitable for individuals or groups. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
