Loving our Students on Purpose: Building a Culture of Joy, Responsibility & Connection

by Bernii Godwin, Danny Silk

Do you spend more time "managing" behavior than teaching? Are you exhausted by the time you reach the holidays?

Imagine a school where students, parents, teachers, and leaders joyfully take responsibility for their own choices, behavior, and learning because they have mastered connection. Through the lens of applied neuroscience, Loving our Students on Purpose will empower you with the tools to shift from the weariness of reactive behavior management to purposeful behavior education, which will result in teachers enjoying teaching and students enjoying learning.

Loving our Students on Purpose has everything you need to stay connected with your students whilst they learn from their mistakes. You will never argue with a student (or parent) again!

It gave me some good tips and, of course, the idea of Loving our Students on Purpose is beautiful and lifechanging. However, some parts were a bit boring in my opinion and too focussed on the author and how great she managed the different situations. It lacks a bit of a more realistic view, showing also cases were the program didn’t work.

This book challenges the teacher (and parent, administrator, even secretary) not to be the students’ rescuer but rather provides tools to empower them to take responsibility for problem solving and making loving choices.
