Produktbeschreibung

How can teachers ensure that every student who graduates is competent in subject matter and responsible in citizenship? Dan Kahler explains how, through the STAR theory: Successful Teachers Are Real. Not only are excellent teachers sound in pedagogy, they are genuine, empathetic, and have a high regard for all students. This handbook illustrates how, through specific examples, educators can positively affect their students for life. Kahler also demonstrates how school and district conditions cause success in connection with an excellent teaching staff. More than simply a book on pedagogy, or a handbook for school reform, Successful Schools is an inspirational tool that will aid anyone involved in education.
