Book Overview
Steve Peters, former classroom teacher and principal of a Virginia Blue Ribbon School, shares his practical strategies, philosophies, beliefs, and message of hope with organisations and school districts throughout the United States and has been featured on such television programs as the Oprah Winfrey Show, and 'America, American'. Mr Peters led the 1100 student Lafayette-Winona Middle School, once marred by violence and tragically low test scores, into recognition as a Virginia Blue Ribbon School. Through a partnership with teachers and the school community Mr Peters and his team conceptualised effective intervention strategies like 'The Gentlemen's Club'. This book profiles the process that Mr Peters used to inspire hope within those students identified as most at risk and how he, his teachers, and his entire school community provided a climate and culture that inspired children toward respect, responsibility, and the diligent pursuit of their dreams and aspirations. Inspiring children to learn is not a new concept but an age-old truth. This description may be from another edition of this product.
