The High-Trust Classroom

Create a classroom environment where students trust their teacher—and one another! In the second edition of this bestseller, co-published by Routledge and Franklin Covey, you’ll learn how to establish the 25 qualities of the high-trust classroom. All change begins with self-awareness, and this book will help you identify the things that you can do personally and professionally to build trust and engage the learner. You’ll learn how to:

• Manage your emotions to promote a calm, safe, and welcoming classroom environment;
• Plan effective lessons by setting measurable goals for your students and helping them achieve to their fullest potential;
• Communicate clearly with your students to build trust and convey expectations with a positive attitude;
• Become an inspirational and motivating figure in your students’ lives;
• And much, much more!

This updated edition includes a new section on scoreboarding – visually tracking daily or weekly progress to help drive personal and professional growth – as well as a section on getting students to take ownership of their learning. Whether you are a new or veteran teacher, this book will help you develop a personal growth plan to create a classroom in which all students feel valued, motivated, and inspired.
