Reinvigorating Classroom Climate offers educators practical, reliable guidance for fostering more inspiring environments. Teachers and students alike need to show up to school feeling like they have a sense of purpose and will be welcomed, cared for, and nourished. Full of immediately actionable mini-solutions, this book gives frontline educators the everyday tools they need to establish the conditions that support positive mindsets, relationship-building, and social-emotional learning. These strategies cover it all: motivation and engagement, human dignity and purpose, moral and character development, bullying and absence, and much more. School teachers, teacher leaders, student support staff, and other K-12 professionals will come away with a wealth of action steps designed to fit into and enhance, rather than replace, their existing learning culture and climate.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"In this book, Mo Elias, who has done so much already to advance the theory and practice of social-emotional learning and wed it with corresponding work in character education, weaves together a range of powerful approaches and methods for creating the kinds of classrooms and schools where students can optimally learn and flourish. Ranging across SEL, classroom climate, teacher wellness, growth mindset, and other powerful approaches, he crafts a tapestry of practical ways for educators to rethink and redesign education."

"Dr. Elias has dedicated his life to uplifting students, educators, and schools. In this book, he reveals the powerful bond between young people and their teachers, illustrating how nurturing both creates vibrant schools where children can flourish, and teachers feel valued and supported."

"For decades, Dr. Maurice Elias has been a guiding force in shaping how we understand the social, emotional, and moral dimensions of education. His work transcends theory-it transforms practice and restores humanity to the heart of teaching and learning. Through his vision and compassion, he shows us that education is not merely about achievement, but about cultivating empathy, resilience, and purpose. This book is not only timely; it is timeless."
