Build positive relationships with your students and set an example for success!

Positive teacher-student relationships are an important factor in increasing student achievement and motivation as well as decreasing  a student's risk of dropping out, substance abuse, bullying, and violence.  In fact, it has been shown that these positive relationships are more influential than more highly publicized factors such as classroom size, teacher training, or school policy in protecting adolescents from destructive behaviors. Learn how to proactively and positively manage your classroom and students and build on their inherent strengths and talents, rather than focusing on negative behaviors and outcomes.

Relationship-Driven Classroom Management is the only book to combine resiliency, classroom management, and discipline into one user-friendly format suitable for all teachers.  Featuring case examples, questions, classroom strategies and tips, as well as chapter objectives and summaries, the chapter material covers both Preventive Strategies and Reactive Strategies including:  

  • Attributes of Relationship-Driven Teachers
  • Strengthening Relationships With Students
  • Teaching and Modeling Social-Emotional Skills
  • Cultivating Student Responsibility
  • Creating and Implementing Effective Consequences
  • Building Relationships With Difficult and Resistant Students

By fostering social-emotional learning, teachers can raise student achievement, create a more positive classroom environment, and help in the long-term prevention of future risk for even their most difficult students.
