• Helpful Book When You Need A Bit Of Reassurance For Helping Students 06 March, 2007
I have had students that say they don't care or don't know what school is for. If they are reachable, this book can help a teacher reach out to a student and give them hope. This is a nice guide to reinforce what most teachers already know but need some reminders once in awhile.

• Useful Stuff At A Great Price 06 July, 2007
The only person who can motivate an unmotivated student is the unmotivated student. All a teacher can do is provide a classroom environment that maximizes the chances that his students will choose to get motivated.
And that's where this book comes in. It is packed with useful and practical suggestions sorted into five big ideas: Emphasizing Effort, Creating Hope, Respecting Power, Building Relationships, and Expressing Enthusiasm. A brief introduction, including research sources, is given for each big idea, then the author gets right to the strategies.
Don't be fooled by the relatively unassuming size and the more then reasonable price. If you teach, this is a book you will use until you've used it up. Then you can buy another copy and another, and you still won't be out the price of many of the educational motivation books that sit pristinely on my shelves collecting well-deserved dust.
