I have recently been given a task and was wondering if anyone had some ideas! I have been asked to assist teachers in how to speak appropriately with students. I work at an elementary school and serve grades K-5. I have seen an increase in "talking down" to students, sometimes degrading them in front of others. This has been seen by our administration as well. When I speak to the grade levels as I have been asked to, I would like to have some sort of book or article to reference the importance of respect and how we, as educators, affect our students with our words. One book I see that may be helpful is Teaching with Love and Logic: Taking Control of the Classroom. If you know of any websites, research, articles, or books that may be helpful, I would love to hear!! Thanks-
Leah There are several articles at the following site that could be helpful:

Words Can Inspire; Successful Teachers; What will your Students Remember?; Educator's Guide to Active Listening; Love and Logic Basics; Motivating Children; and since their behavior is often a result of being stressed, Coping with Stress -Tips for Educators.
