Flip the Script: Breaking Down Barriers, Building Relationships, and Engaging Secondary Students (Impactful and Transformative Relationships with Seco (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798893740110)

In Flip the Script, the authors propose that to build relationships with and engage students, educators must examine core beliefs and assumptions that create unintentional barriers to supporting students. Through self-exploration, empathy building, and real-life examples from five master teachers, educators can learn how to help students break down negative thought patterns and become engaged learners.

Secondary teachers can use this book to:

• Remember what it was like to be adolescents
• Increase students' enthusiasm and willingness to actively engage in class
• Use examples from five highly effective teachers to deepen pedagogy and develop exceptional skills and mindsets
• Approach student conflicts with authenticity and respect, using those experiences as opportunities to guide student growth
• Reframe how students see themselves as learners and increase students' self-efficacy and hope for the future, changing the trajectories of their lives
