As Manny Scott travels the world speaking to students and
educators, he meets young people whose stories sound a lot like his
own a childhood that was marked by poverty, instability, violence,
and despair until a few caring educators showed him how to find
meaning in the classroom and gave him a glimpse of his own
possibilities. So many kids he meets today need this kind of hope
and practical assistance. But with all that is already on
educators' plates, what can an individual teacher do to help
traumatized children believe in themselves, succeed in school, and
graduate prepared for work and life? Here, you'll find answers.
With the same passion that inspires so many who hear him speak,
Scott presents an approach informed by the teachers who helped him
and honed through years of connecting with kids who desperately
need someone to show them a path to a more positive future. He
shares the little things you can do to prepare yourself for the
hard work of making a difference and offers advice for bridging
cultural divides, earning students' trust, and equipping them to
take responsibility for their own success. This book is a reminder
of the incredible power every teacher has to help young people
rewrite their destinies and it's a call to action for all who read
it.
