Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teach Up! shows the power of positive teacher-student relationships and high academic expectations to increase educational equity. To "teach up" is a growth-based mindset and iterative practice that teachers adopt in order to develop these types of teacher-student relationships. Building on the ICLE Relationships, Rigor, and Relevance model, author Venola Mason, an ICLE Senior Fellow, provides educators with strategies proven to help ALL students excel at rigorous tasks while staying engaged in the classroom. To support these strategies, the book examines the importance of social and emotional learning (SEL), the impact of childhood trauma, and the influence of classroom environment. It then shifts to presenting evidence-based rubrics and step-by-step practices for building relationships and increasing the level of rigor and relevance in instructional tasks that may be implemented in any classroom, regardless of subject matter or grade level. These practical tools will help students become more socially adept, better able to solve complex problems, and strong and joyful lifelong learners - all crucial capabilities for success in life.
