Whale Done! Series co-authored by Cindy Zurchin
“Helping create schools where students love to learn, teachers love to teach and parents are proud.®”
THE WHALE DONE SCHOOL is the third in the Whale Done! series, focusing the proven power of positive attention on the process of educating children. Based on an actual school-turnaround story, the fable demonstrates how students’ behavior and academic performance improves dramatically when teachers systematically employ the science of training killer whales – i.e. building trust, giving lots of attention to what their students do right, and redirecting wrong behavior to positive outcomes. This book can be found and purchased on Amazon.com.
