It's All About Kids: Every Child Deserves a Teacher of the Year
Read about the impact and passion that makes the difference in learning and leadership in a book documenting the early years of Corbett Prep/Independent Day School.
Is it possible to create a place where people treat each other with dignity and respect and at the same time they soar academically? It's All About Kids: Every Child Deserves a Teacher of the Year, written by Debbie Happy Cohen and the Corbett Prep faculty and staff, details those efforts to make that possibility come true. Imagine a world of teachers and children trying to live “above the line” working to respect one another on an ongoing basis. Just imagine people working together to create a joyful, brain-friendly environment that purposely combines the best of academics with social, emotional, and physical well-being.
The book shares lessons about leadership and change and includes dozens of real-life stories written by educators for educators about best teaching and leadership practices as well as brain-based classroom management techniques.
