Expect the Best From Your Child...and Get It!

The power of expectations to motivate a child to learn is known to school leaders, teachers and researchers alike. When the child knows that adults he respects believe he can learn a subject, even excel at it, the chances are very good he will do just that. It's true for student behavior, too. The same child who is disruptive in one class room may be perfectly behaved in another where she knows the teacher expects good behavior. This QuickTip shares the secret and explains how parents can use the power of high expectations. (Also part of the Helping At-Risk Students—Motivation Top Priority Pack.) Stock #1106 (Spanish #2106)
