What do high-achieving schools have in common? Connection.

Today’s classrooms need to move beyond traditional teaching methods; they need strategies that will re-engage students and build on meaningful connections. This book equips educators with evidence-based strategies that are layered into existing instruction, thus improving attendance, reducing behavior issues, and fueling higher academic outcomes.

These strategies empower students to build connections, embrace multiple perspectives, and develop the social and academic tools necessary for success. Inside you'll find:

Chapter-by-chapter resources and techniques
Assessment recommendations
Targeted strategies for culturally and linguistically diverse students
Techniques to help students develop self-reflection skills

By cultivating authentic engagement, Essential Connection Skills restores a sense of community and purpose in classrooms and empowers students with the lifelong skills they’ll need to succeed.
