Teaching Children Compassionately

How Students and Teachers Can Succeed With Mutual Understanding
by Marshall B. Rosenberg, Ph.D.

In this keynote address to a national conference of Montessori educators, Marshall Rosenberg describes his progressive, radical approach to teaching that centers on compassionate connection. Marshall describes the role that power and punishment play in our schools, and challenges educators to motivate students instead "by a reverence for life." Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication (NVC) offers educators the tools to create exceptional learning environments. This is an exceptional resource for teachers, school counselors, school administrators, child care providers and more!
