¿ KIDS NEED THE SAME TEACHER FOR MORE THAN ONE YEAR is for parents of elementary and middle school age children and teens. The book explains why the one-year assignment to teachers is wasteful and the many benefits that accrue when teachers, students, and parents work together for two years or longer: personalization of learning for every child and higher levels of academic achievement, more efficient use of school time, greater emotional support for every student from the teacher(s), more positive social and emotional learning, more acceptance of responsibility by students and the development of stronger skills for self-management, more enthusiasm for learning on the part of students, more productive and harmonious relationships between parents and teachers, and greater investment by teachers in the success of every child.
