Отрывок из книги
“I love this book because you can turn to any page and find that Neila Connors offers you positive and proven ‘recipes’ carefully curated from schools and classrooms all over the country to help you make your school even more exciting, engaging, caring, safe, and fun! It is written for educators who love their students and yearn for a return to a time when pervasive happy and meaningful relationships among everyone in schools were the bedrock of raising student achievement. It is the perfect sequel to Neila Connors's first book, If You Don't Feed the Teachers, They'll Eat the Students, a book that I continue to share with teachers I work with and is beloved by all.”

We know that caring is a skill that can be learned, and people who care are surrounded by a contagious energy that is inviting to others. They are genuine; they go above and beyond.
