EXAMINING: How to Survive & Thrive in the Classroom

How to Survive & Thrive in the Classroom is a 3-credit hours course that builds on the 7 principles employed by master teachers presented by Robyn R. Jackson in her book "Never Work Harder than Your Students", 2nd ed. The course begins by teaching participants how to assess students’ cultural and intellectual currency to determine where they are, what they value, and where they are going academically. Next, participants will investigate how to use supports and feedback to get students where they need to be. The culminating principle, never work harder than your students, will be discovered as teachers move through the guiding tenets for making students successful.
