The authors' premise is straightforward: "We firmly believe that awareness and control over situations that elicit negative emotions is one of the more powerful skills educators can cultivate to enhance their teaching and provide the most positive and effective learning environment for students." They then proceed to unpack the skill of doing just that.
Bringing the Marzano hallmark of succinct accessible clarity, this little book should be read by all educators.
