Description

The book maps out a transformative framework to support educators in nurturing young people's academic and socioemotional development, ultimately contributing to a restorative approach to equitable education. This involves educators making a paradigm shift to a strengths-based educational philosophy that emphasizes these strategies:

- Employ strengths-based teaching-learning practices to build teacher-student connections that improve student learning.

- Cultivate self-regulated learning to support academic engagement and performance.

- Tap into youths' cognitive abilities using the multiple intelligences approach to accelerate learning.

- Foster resilient learners to support their academic success.

- Build educators' capacity to collaborate with a community of teacher learners who will make a strengths-based teaching

paradigm happen.

- Build teachers' ability to engage in ongoing reflection to support their implementation of strengths-based teaching and

learning practices.
