SOS Women's Fund Book Discussion

“I’m giving you these comments because I have very high expectations and I know that you can reach them.”

Who would think this simple message on a Post-it note could be a powerful motivation to middle school students growing up in adversity?

Helping Children Succeed, What Works and Why by Paul Tough is packed with research-based insights and strategies that address students’ core social and emotional needs – the need to feel connected, capable, competent – the need to feel like they belong and can improve if they work hard.

Available on-line http://paultough.com/helping/ or locally at Left Bank Books.
