| Summary |
"Teaching Difficult Students: Blue Jays in the Classroom is an easy-to-read and inspiring text that explores the nature of young people and the effects of traditional disciplinary strategies. Nicole Gnezda recommends humanistic approaches that promote personal growth in students rather than the common system of reward and punishment that aggravates underlying psychological issues and encourages resentment, retaliation, apathy, and failure. Discussions range from overarching philosophical perspectives to specific step-by-step instructions for more effective teaching." |
|
"The ideas and stories in this book emanate from the experiences of a K-12 teacher whose personal life has been profoundly intertwined with the teaching profession. Teaching Difficult Students will be of interest to practicing and perservice teachers of all subject areas and grade levels."--Jacket. |
