brick by brick: setting the foundation for a stable and joyful classroom (dynamic strategies to build confidence in the classroom)

＂New teachers step into their first classroom passionate about their profession and dedicated to shaping their students’ futures. But the realities of teaching soon catch up: maybe their students aren’t engaging with their lessons, or some struggle to manage student behavior, or they don’t have a clear idea of how to design lessons that satisfy essential standards and objectives. In Brick by Brick: Setting the Foundation for a Stable and Joyful Classroom, Kjell Fenn demonstrates that behind every successful classroom is a teacher who places student confidence, engagement, and motivation at the forefront. With his research-supported strategies and multiple possibilities of implementation, Fenn guides readers on how to design summative assessments, understand unit and quarter planning requirements, and introduce the structure students need to succeed. Practical and insightful, Brick by Brick will help new and less experienced teachers sustain the joy and purpose that brought them to their profession＂--
