RECLAIMING OUR STUDENTS

Hannah Beach Tamara Neufeld Strijack

Why Children Are More Anxious, Aggressive, and Shut Down Than Ever—And What We Can Do About It

Children are more anxious, aggressive, and shut down than ever. Faced with this epidemic of emotional health crises and behavioural problems, teachers are asking themselves what went wrong. Why have we lost our students? More importantly: How can we get them back?
In RECLAIMING OUR STUDENTS, authors Hanna Beach and Tamara Neufeld Strijack provide a thoughtful guide to restoring the student-teacher relationship and creating the conditions for change. RECLAIMING OUR STUDENTS empowers teachers with relationship-based strategies to restore their leadership role and build emotional safety in the classroom.

Readers will learn:
• How to build, feed, and protect the student-teacher relationship.
• Why children are anxious or bossy, aggressive or checked out, and what can be done to address these behavioural issues at their root.
• How to help students and classes shift their identity as the “problem student” or “bad class.”
• Experiential activities for students of all ages that preserve and restore emotional health and well-being.

Plus, RECLAIMING OUR STUDENTS includes vital information for parents, principals, counsellors, and home educators to help build safe and supportive learning environments.

Combining Hannah's ground-breaking experiential approach to creating emotional health and community in the classroom with the Neufeld Institute's insightful approach to building relationships and making sense of children, RECLAIMING OUR STUDENTS is required reading for teachers who not only want to understand and overcome daily challenges, but also re-connect to their calling as educators.
