Do you have students who are at risk? Students who are unhappy in school, unhappy with themselves and who are not all they could be? Esther Wright shares her techniques for enhancing student self-esteem while keeping yours intact. Esther has served as a classroom teacher, administrator and teacher trainer. She is the author of four books for teachers: "Good Morning Class - I Love You!", "Loving Discipline A-Z", "The Heart & Wisdom of Teaching", and "Inspirational Stories from Teachers Who Make a Difference". Her background and experience in special education and urban schools has provided her with a multitude of experiences and insights that relate to working with at-risk students of all ages.
