A Connected School
A Connected School shows you how to create a school climate that fosters achievement, caring, and safety for students, school staff, and the community. The book will introduce readers to Perceptual Control Theory in order to help educators interact with students in ways that facilitate students' internal motivation. We increase achievement by connecting to others, creating a safe and caring environment, and by teaching in ways that foster students' innate desire to learn. The role of the "Connected School" educator is to help students understand how they can become "disciplined within" and create opportunities to do this in a non-coercive setting.
