Testo aggiuntivo
If public education aims to successfully transition from the assembly line "one size fits all" style of learning to providing our students with meaningful 21st century skills, it is imperative educators be prepared to address the social-emotional needs our diverse students bring to the table. As I enter my 17th year of teaching in a local public high school, I can attest this book effectively articulates the knowledge, skills, awareness and cultural competencies needed to truly educate the whole child.
