For several years, the nation′s schools have been asked to focus their energies on raising student achievement. However, too often educators have ignored the need to honor, support and affirm the identities of the students they serve. For educators who serve children of color, particularly Black, Native American and Latinx children who are often subject to overt and covert forms of forced assimilation, this book will be an invaluable resource on how to create learning opportunities that make it possible for such children to thrive.” ~Pedro Noguera, Dean of Rossier School of Education, University of Southern California “Bravo to authors Cohn-Vargas, Gogolewski, Creer Kahn, and Epstein for their ground-breaking book on Identify Safe Schools for Administrators and Teacher and Staff Leaders! They provide much-needed evidence for educators to elevate and even inspire the equity, empowerment, and academic growth needed to wholly support all children to flourish in school and their lives.” ~Debbie Zacarian, Director, Zacarian and Associates

Download or read book The Power of Belonging written by Sunita Sehmi and published by Business Expert Press. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for anyone who wants to achieve better personal and organizational effectiveness and fruitful business relationships. It is designed to give both the theoretical knowledge and the tools for action if you are to change the power dynamics in your organization. Indeed, to operate in a global environment that is increasingly more relational than transactional, it is vital to cultivate globally competitive leaders to deal with ongoing change and challenges. The Power of Belonging is about addressing the challenge faced by most leaders: how to influence and achieve organizational goals. This is also a book for individuals, especially as they learn that we cannot define ourselves by single dimensions – we are a synthesis of our backgrounds, experiences and philosophies. And we must come as the whole people that we are to form sustainable and meaningful relationships with others around the world. The most difficult lesson to learn perhaps is that belonging will remain a puzzle until we find that it has a personal dwelling place – that we must first belong deeply to ourselves. Ready to be a change agent? Then this book is for you.
