The Key to Success, Self-Esteem Gail A Cassidy

People have two basic needs: to know they are lovable and to know they are worthwhile. WHO SHOULD READ THIS BOOK? ALL EDUCATORS: Teachers, Principals, Superintendents!WHY READ THIS BOOK?This book sets out to answer these two questions, "How can an educator best equip a child to succeed and be happy in today's society?" "How can a teacher instill self-belief in a student?"Answer: Provide courses that will provide the following:1) the EXPERIENCE of acceptance and validation from peers whether it be from their friends or totally different groups of kids,2) that will enable each student to learn the basics of communication skills-verbal and non-verbal, listening skills, attitude training, and people skills, and3) the opportunity to learn their own "specialness" through discovering their passion. These reasons are why every educator should read this book. Through actual classroom experiences, students experience acceptance by their peers in situations where they never would have been able to get to know one another. The nerds, the brainiacs, the sport heroes, the tough guys, the potential drop-outs, rich and poor get to experience first-hand, from their peers, their own specialness. That's why you should read this book.
