I saw this book on my principal's desk and asked to borrow it. She had just finished it. It was a quick read with some good ideas written in a simple format. For me, it reinforced what I already knew, but it never hurts to be reminded and encouraged to always strive to reach out and help build students up by showing them how to help themselves. "Life IS difficult," and we must teach them how to be resilient and teach them how to move forward to better and brighter futures.
JC's passion for building resilient students is evident in his newest book. The stories about and from students with whom he was worked as well as his own story add a personal touch while also showing the effectiveness of his programs. Educators wanting to create a positive school culture will benefit from reading Building Resilient Students from the Inside Out, an easy to follow step by step process designed to help educators connect with students.
