by Tony Curtis
First published 2014
Communication never stops. Silence sends messages just as words do. Tony Curtis builds his approach on this foundation after two decades working in UK schools and specialized programs for students with emotional and behavioral difficulties. Teachers and support staff face daily challenges managing classroom interactions and building positive relationships with struggling students. Curtis shows how specific language choices influence student behavior and emotional states. His methods focus on reducing negative encounters while increasing productive learning time. The book provides concrete scripts and communication strategies designed to boost student self-esteem and academic achievement. Curtis argues that understanding how words create mental representations in students gives educators powerful tools for classroom management. Teachers who master these language techniques can transform their effectiveness and create more supportive learning environments.
