Description
Book Synopsis
Teachers know that what we say to students matters. Recent neuroscientific research confirms just how powerful words can be. They can literally shape our brains, inviting us to create new mental concepts and influencing our emotional experiences. This book shares classroom-tested strategies and brain-changing teacher language that positively transforms how students think, feel, and achieve within their classroom communities and beyond. Includes curricular connections that help students explore and internalize these transformative words.About the Author
