Description

With so much emphasis these days on making students globally competitive and prepared to beat students of other nations on international assessments, and with so much talk about academic rigor and emphasis on rigid accountability measures, we are in danger of losing sight of the most fundamental element of successful teaching and learning - love. Teaching Students to Love Learning, Not Just Endure It makes the case that if we really want 'no child left behind' we must return to the solid foundation on which successful teaching and learning has always rested - the love of teacher for her students (and they for her) and the passion of the teacher for her discipline and her desire to share that passion with her students.

About the Author
Mike Connolly has worked as a teacher and administrator in elementary, middle and high schools in the USA and as an administrator in four international schools on three continents. His articles on education appear regularly in national and international journals.

Reviews
This book reminds us of the importance of love, creativity, and human interaction in helping our children and families to expand and redefine the boundaries of learning. By providing a carefully considered prescription for improving our schools and communities, Connolly has done a great service to children, parents, and educators. -- Duncan McCutchan
Connolly presents a fresh approach on how we should work with our students. Actual situations are intertwined with many references and works. His style of writing pulls you directly into his vision of education and soon one's mind has melded together with this vision. This is a resource that I intend to share with many colleagues and administrators. -- Paul Moreau, Science Teacher at Taipei American School
There are so many wonderful chapters with poignant lessons for everyone, not just teachers. I think this is a book that parents, politicians, and people from other professions should read. -- Charlene Pollano, retired high school counselor
