This entire episode is dedicated to a question from a loyal listener to the TLS podcast. Everine Writes:"Being a teacher in a traditional school system, the academic climate is based on overestimated grades, and where punishments rule instead of compliments. I would like to have more concrete, practical  tools (examples if you wish) so that the positive learning attitude becomes more natural in my class, and hopefully later on in my school, and so on."Links & ResourcesDave Stuart Jr.'s Website, a gold mine of innovative resources for teachersDr. Joni Samples' Family Friendly Schools Website, my go-to for family engagement resourcesPaulo Freir's epic "Pedagogy Of the Opressed"
