This guide helps educators gain a better understanding of several
issues impacting on teacher-student relationships so that they will
be better prepared to help students improve academically and
socially. Understanding these issues will help students take their
place as contenders in an ever-changing and complex world. The
following are the issues that must be addressed in order to help
each of our students successfully navigate through the risks and
challenges of adolescence and follow their star: 1. Why
historically teachers have not utilized their bully pulpit and
skills to lead the way in addressing the personal and well-being
problems. 2. Why changes in our students' families and communities
have now created the need for teachers to be the primary source of
intervention for underachieving and failing students. 3. Why school
guidance counselors and social workers need to step back from their
unattainable role as the primary source of student intervention and
shift this role to teachers on the front lines. 4. Why we need to
help teachers and administrators improve the quality of
teacher-student relations right now and not postpone needed
intervention until secondary school enrollment and class size are
reduced. 5. How we can proceed to train and expect teachers to
better understand how their students learn, develop, and
effectively address the non-academic issues that get in the way of
learning. An Educator's Guide to Better Understanding the Personal
Side of Students' Lives is a road map on how to elevate the
teacher's advising role, the most underutilized helping resource in
the school, to its rightful place as a source of academic and
non-academic help for students. Students need teacher advisers who
can help them successfully navigate through the risks of adolescent
life. This guide will help. The book includes 36 case studies of
high school students that support why it is important for educators
to be advisors and mentors. To learn more, visit
