Editorial Reviews

The author argues that seeking peace for learning requires the teacher to find approaches which give to the pupil clarity and certainty about behavioral expectations and which raise self-esteem. She emphasizes the practical detail of how to improve teaching skills and pupil behavior, and provides curriculum ideas and techniques to enable teachers to minimize stress, conserve energy, and remain calm.
