Flip the Script (Breaking Down Barriers, Building Relationships, and Engaging Secondary Students (Strategies for positive classroom environments))

In Flip the Script, the authors propose that to build relationships with and engage students, educators must examine core beliefs and assumptions that create unintentional barriers to supporting students. Through self-exploration, empathy building, and real-life examples from five master teachers, educators can learn how to help students break down negative thought patterns and become engaged learners.

Secondary teachers can use this book to:

• Remember what it was like to be adolescents
• Increase students’ enthusiasm and willingness to actively engage in class
• Use examples from five highly effective teachers to deepen pedagogy and develop exceptional skills and mindsets
• Approach student conflicts with authenticity and respect, using those experiences as opportunities to guide student growth
• Reframe how students see themselves as learners and increase students’ self-efficacy and hope for the future, changing the trajectories of their lives
