Creating connections with and among students is at the heart of all good teaching. In order to do this, we must identify and address the obstacles, conscious and unconscious, getting in the way of this goal. Authors Katherine M. Heavers and Valerie Kearns show how to build authentic relationships that focus on trust and voice while honoring the differences in individuals’ experiences and learning styles.
This book covers topics such as fostering trust, wielding language with intention, nurturing emotional safety, offering meaningful feedback, unearthing and confronting bias, and promoting student voice. The authors encourage educators to do their own inner work to embrace vulnerability, which can help them to grow personally and, as a result, better nurture student growth. As a byproduct of this deep reflection, the authors intend for you to enjoy heightened psychological flexibility and experience more joy, both of which will enable you to better serve your students. Each chapter concludes with reflection questions and activities to support, challenge, and extend thinking.
Whether reading the book on your own or with colleagues, you will come away feeling supported on your journey as you strive to create meaningful connections that lead to lasting learning and empowered communities.
