Synopsis "teach and reach for classroom miracles"
Teach and Reach for Classroom Miracles! aims to convince teachers and leaders that love is the key to miracle-filled classrooms. When Wendy Byard first began teaching, like many instructors she thought all her students needed was a good lesson plan and an educated, well-intentioned teacher. However, on her "Journey to Love," Byard realized that what God wants, and what every student truly seeks from a teacher, is the qualities of love modeled by Jesus Christ and revealed by the apostle Paul - kindness, humility, generosity, and compassion, among others. What are the results of classroom love? Students who find acceptance, confidence, belief, passion, self-love, and love for others - truly miraculous results! Teach and Reach for Classroom Miracles! chronicles Wendy's personal journey and shares classroom stories as well as the most compelling evidence of all for her view: excerpts from hundreds of student letters she's collected. The book's second section, "12 Love Lessons for Teachers," provides educators with concrete ways of expressing love and the means to create a more loving, miraculous classroom environment. Byard's inspiring, challenging message can change lives. So start loving your students today! Reach for a miracle! This book will compel teachers to question how they teach and inspire them to approach their calling from a higher level. Shirley A. Harris, Psy.D., School Psychologist
