About this title

Synopsis

Good schools start with good teachers, and the thoughtful, positive approach found in this staff-development guide provides teachers, school administrators, and program leaders with step-by-step ways to inspire and motivate. Full of personal inventories and food for thought, this resource provides a comprehensive set of tools for incorporating the Developmental AssetsŪ, a research-based framework for healthy child development, into a school or youth program. A CD-ROM of handouts from the book and supplementary assessment tools, as well as a Power Point presentation, is also included.
