`The underlying philosophy of this practical book is that raising self-esteem in pupils (including dyslexics) will lead to achievement of higher academic results and fewer behaviour problems. This book is primarily for primary and secondary teachers but would provide much material for discussion among SpLD teachers, given the unexpected and controversial results of Denis Lawrence's research' - Dyslexia Contact`Many useful suggestions offered in this book about learning activities are likely to help pupils to feel better about themselves, to learn to respect others and to experience how feelings can be expressed safely' - British Journal of Special Education
This Second Edition includes a chapter on teachers' own self-esteem. It sets out practical ways in which teachers can maintain their self-esteem, in the light of recent research showing the relationship between teacher stress and self-esteem. Research shows that teacher stress is on the increase, and stressed teachers quickly lose self-esteem. The author outlines activities which will help teachers reduce their stress levels, before their self-esteem is reduced.
A unique feature of Enhancing Self-Esteem in the Classroom is that all the activities and techniques advocated by the author are based on research and have been tested in practice.
