"This book continually comes back to the relationships formed between students and staff. Using an array of statistics and personal observations, Peters calls upon the heart and the conscience of the educator when asking you to ′bring your best′ every day into the classroom."
—From the Foreword by Alan M. Blankstein

Motivate educators in a collaborative endeavor to bring about real change in schools and classrooms!

Reflecting Stephen G. Peters′ motivational workshops, this resource provides practical guidelines for influencing school culture and inspiring higher student performance based on understanding today′s learners. The book provides strategies and tested techniques that have transformed struggling schools into national and state blue-ribbon winners.
