Teaching With Heart

Making Healthy Connections With Students

What teachers do to nurture healthy bonds with students, while maintaining high academic standards and high expectations for student achievement, is the concern of this book. Basing her work on a study of teachers and students, and illustrating the book with examples, Judith A Deiro describes six strategies that teachers can use to encourage strong bonds that do not require the teacher to become a counsellor or parent. She also discusses personal and professional resources of support for caring teachers.
