In Empowering Students: Seven Strategies for a Smart Start in School and Life, educators Robert Brower and Amy Keller provide teachers with seven powerful steps that build character and promote success in students' lives. These step include making critical distinctions; building strong and resilient relationships; avoiding negative attention; positive body language; small, positive behaviors and actions; practicing "mirror relationship building"; and understanding and accepting consequences of your actions. The character-building approach outlined in this book demonstrates that positive traits can be developed subtly, as evidenced by a multitude of stories testifying to the credibility of the concepts, and the impact of these strategies can be witnessed almost immediately. With the potential to revolutionize methods of building character and gaining success among learners, Empowering Students will be of interest to all educators.
