Strengths-Based Teaching-Learning: A Restorative Approach to Advance Educational Equity

The book offers a wide range of methods and resources to assist secondary public school educators in their efforts to move students forward, bringing about intergenerational equity. The book presents six strategies for creating a strengths-based teaching-learning culture to achieve a restorative approach to advance educational equity. The first four focus on instructional practices that benefit the whole student, and the last two outline teacher practices that build professional capacity to support the culture: 1) employ strengths-based teaching and learning strategies to build teacher-student connections that improve student learning; 2) cultivate self-regulated learning to support academic engagement and performance; 3) tap into youths' cognitive abilities using the multiple intelligences approach to accelerate learning; 4) foster resilient learners to support their academic success; 5) collaborate with a community of teacher learners to make a strengths-based paradigm shift happen; and 6) engage in continuous reflection to bolster practices/strategies.
