She learned about relationships, about herself, about the miracle of human resiliency and about the ability to change and grow. This frank and practical memoir is a reflection on her learning in seven years at the Centre.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe eleven short chapters work through the topics of communication, conflict, anger, and problem-solving. Each chapter shares actual experiences and reflects on what worked and what did not. This book is alive with story; real children in real situations with a real teacher. Nawrocki shares her experience with a surprisingly open heart. It is a quick read which promises to make you laugh, cry, and rethink some of your assumptions about how we approach troubled youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Monica Nawrocki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1550597744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781550597745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brush Education\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.40w x 0.20d","brand":"Monica Nawrocki","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453790892287,"sku":"9781550597745","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bbf1936c-c8ae-47a9-8400-ba8181b9f1ee.jpg?v=1777302328","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thanks-for-chucking-that-at-monica-nawrocki-9781550597745","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
