Managing Your Classroom with Heart: A Guide for Nurturing Adolescent Learners ASCD Talks with Author Katy Ridnouer

Managing Your Classroom with Heart: A Guide for Nurturing Adolescent Learners

(December 2006 Member Book)

 

Katy Ridnouer

 

Synopsis

Reaching distracted, disconnected, and sometimes defiant adolescents can be a challenge for even the most dedicated teacher. Author Katy Ridnouer explains how to set high expectations for middle and high school students, recognize what they need, and connect with them through feelings and emotion. Learn why showing students that you care doesn't mean giving up control, and discover classroom practices that allow your humanity to be an avenue to better teaching, improved learning, and greater professional fulfillment.

This interview was conducted by ASCD associate editor Katie Martin.
