Unleashing the Student's I Can (Paperback)

They did what? Wheelchair kid from the psych ward incites a standing ovation. "Nerd" instantaneously morphs; gets mobbed for autographs. Suicidal teen breaks through her inner conflicts and becomes a powerful executive. What on earth is going on in that classroom? Memories of school vary from person to person. However, most of us have a special teacher we will always remember. Have you ever wondered which students teachers remember most, and why? Many students remember those teachers that inspired them toward creating their own life-changing miracles. Unleashing the Student's "I Can " examines the intricate scenarios and relationships a teacher builds with her students. As a teacher for twenty-five years and school administrator for eight years in California public schools, Dr. Ghiora gives us these true personal accounts that took place because a teacher first believed every student was capable of greatness and, through high expectations and unrelenting patience, found ways to unleash the "I can."
