Valuing And Educating Young People: Stern Love the Lyward Way

0.0

George Lyward had a gift for working with disturbed young people, and the therapeutic community he ran earned an international reputationfor its success in rehabilitating adolescents who were excluded from school. "Valuing and Educating Young People" explains Lyward's ideas on education and emotional development, and shows how his methods are relevant to contemporary practice. "Valuing and Educating Young People" advocates learning through conversation and describes how education can be an enriching process that raises young people's self-esteem if approached with patience and fun. It offers advice on providing discipline and maintaining control without overreacting to misbehaviour, and on how to establish an atmosphere of respect and encouragement. Jeremy Harvey shows how Lyward's creative approaches offer valuable lessons for teachers trying to reach challenging students and for all professionals involved in groupwork with adolescents.
