The Teacher’s Attention: Why Our Kids Must and Can Get Smaller Schools and Classes

The Teacher’s Attention Why Our Kids Must and Can Get Smaller Schools and Classes The Teacher?s Attention is a fresh take on relationships in schools. Looking beyond our obsession with raising test scores, this book recognizes that education is a key partner in raising children. Garrett Delavan contends that allowing students, educators and parents to navigate a smaller number of relationships?a concept he calls”relationship load”�?provides many benefits, including a better chance at achieving equal access to a good education for all children. Delavan shows how class size, school size, and longer-term student-teacher relationships are all equally critical components for educating our children ethically and successfully. After examining these proposed reforms in detail, Delavan also considers counterarguments and provides a detailed projection of costs and savings, putting to rest the assumption that smaller classes and smaller schools are necessarily more expensive. Finally, the book discusses possible steps toward implementation, showing how the author’s proposed reforms are remarkably practical.Additional ISBNs9781592138937The Teacher’s Attention: Why Our Kids Must and Can Get Smaller Schools and Classes is written by Garrett Delavan and published by Temple University Press.
