Simply the Best acknowledges the importance of listening to
students to inform our efforts in schools. Schools and teachers can
find extensive support for an intentional focus on developing
relationships in schools and how these relationships result in
improved academic performance, in reducing achievement gaps, and in
promoting safe schools and productive learning environments for
students. Students should be more than passive participants in the
educational process. They can articulate teacher behaviors that
make a difference for them. Simply the Best utilizes not only a
research voice to identify practices schools should consider around
relationships, but also enlists the student voice. Focus groups of
students from elementary, middle and high were interviewed and an
array of research using student surveys and perspectives consulted
resulting in the identification of twenty-nine (29) practices that
characterize the best teachers. Simply the Best outlines a research
and a student perspective considering relationships around the
following dimensions: Relationships Around a Moral Imperative
Relationships Around Curriculum Relationships Around Instruction
Relationships Around Assessment Relationships Around Recovery.
Readers are encouraged to reflect on their experiences as a
student, as well as the professional practices in their classrooms
or schools. Eighty (80) ideas geared toward relationship building
and the development of a customer service mind-set are shared as
suggestions for teachers. Simply the Best serves as a reminder of
the power of the teacher - the power of our words and actions in
shaping students' educational experience. The teacher and student
relationship is the foundation for school improvement efforts. How
would students describe those relationships in your school? How
many of the 29 things students say make the best teachers could be
commonly observed in classrooms at your school? Read to see what
truly makes a difference for students
