Teaching Children Who Are Hard to Reach

Create lasting, positive change for our most troubled students!

How do you move beyond traditional classroom management to create a learning environment that engages our hardest-to-reach students—students who may be struggling due to emotional disturbances or disabilities or environmental circumstances? Michael Marlowe and Torey Hayden have the answer: through a relationship-driven classroom. With the help of their book, you will:

• Gain a meaningful understanding of troubled students and how to reach and teach them effectively
• Learn how to change inappropriate behavior rather than just control it
• Become more reflective about teaching and learning with challenging children

Drawing on real-life stories, including some of those described in Torey Hayden’s bestselling books on working with troubled children, the authors shed new light on the challenges of working with hard-to-reach students and identify the key skills teachers need to build successful classroom relationships and facilitate learning for all.
