Book Description

"In I'm Listening: How Teacher-Student Relationships Improve Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Listening, author Beth Pandolpho extolls the virtues of strong student-teacher relationships, explains the numerous beneficial effects of these relationships, and provides a guide to building these relationships. As the author points out, many educators believe that building strong relationships with students is mutually exclusive with ambitious educational experiences and academic criticism. Not only is this untrue, but the opposite is the case. As such, this book demonstrates how educators can intentionally build strong relationships with their students. Through these relationships educators can create a classroom environment that is both welcoming to students and rigorously academic. Along with studying the research and theory that support the author's thesis, readers will also study numerous tools, strategies, and practices that can be utilized in the classroom to effectively build these relationships. Through this book, readers will learn how to create a sensitive, caring, and engaging classroom that will provide students with the support they need to develop emotionally and persevere through difficult and demanding coursework"--

I'm Listening


Book Description

This collection of writings about my experiences as a psychotherapist and teacher first describes some of the childhood circumstances that influenced my becoming a good listener. It then highlights what I learned from two of my professors that influenced my decision me to become a psychologist. The book is primarily intended to serve as a memoir, my legacy for family and friends. It is essentially an account of my work as a psychologist, describing the skills—including careful listening—which I learned to employ with my clients in therapy and with the students I taught. It is intended, not as a textbook, to instruct about therapeutic or teaching methods, but as a description of the techniques I learned along the way to becoming a successful therapist and educator. More than simply emphasizing the importance of listening carefully to what my clients said--as well as what they didn’t say—I hope to convey by my example what behavior must be attended to, what should be encouraged and what values ought to be reinforced in order to meet the needs of those seeking assistance.

To know you have the right to do something is one thing, but then again, actually doing that thing is another. We always talk to the Lord when trouble comes and when we pray at night or when we say Thank you when we receive that special blessing, but do we really feel comfortable holding a conversation with the Lord like talking to a neighbor or a friend? Probably not! This book challenges you to communicate with the Lord. You will begin to ask him those tough questions that have been tugging at your heart. I sure did. I asked some of them for you, and I hope his replies will serve as discernment and wisdom for you, my faithful readers, for years to come. Just get in a quiet room and say, Speak, Lord, Im listening. Just ask today, then wait for his reply. Other inquiring minds want to know, so ask away!
