Caring to Teach, Teaching to Care: The Importance of Relationship, Respect, Responsibility, Relevance, and Rigor in the Classroom

by Dave Opalewski, Anna Unkovich

Overview

Education in the twenty-first century demands that we deal with the whole child, not just the mind. This requires going beyond the historical 3 R's of reading, writing, and 'rithmetic and focusing on five new R's: Relationship, Respect, Responsibility, Relevance, and Rigor. As educators, we must increase our efforts to understand youth and truly connect with them in ways that make them want to learn. By caring to teach, we are teaching students to care. Join Dave Opalewski and Anna Unkovich as they share their combined wisdom and passion for teaching, and their educational philosophy of developing students' hearts as well as minds.
