From being suspended over 30 times and expelled 3 times to now taking the stage as a nationally recognized education speaker and consultant, Edward DeShazer proves there is no such thing as a "hopeless" student. Too often, discussions about closing achievement gaps overlook the powerful impact of adult expectations. When educators believe in a child's limitless potential, that spark of hope can change everything.
In this candid and inspiring book, Edward shares a personal journey-from countless warnings of failure to the realization that these experiences could help transform how teachers and schools empower all students. Drawing on both lived experiences and educational research, Closing the Believe'ment Gap offers honest reflections on systemic barriers as well as practical strategies for shifting mindsets, cultivating resilience, and building meaningful relationships in the classroom.
Readers will discover:
Whether a teacher looking for renewed inspiration, a parent advocating for a child, or an administrator aiming to influence schoolwide transformation, Closing the Believe'ment Gap reignites the belief in what's possible. Through this powerful narrative, readers are reminded that every student-no matter their history or present challenges-can rise above expectations when supported by educators who truly believe in their potential.
It all begins with the simple question, "do you believe?"Thanks for subscribing!
