About The Power of Praise: Empowering Students Through Positive Feedback (Rogers Pedagogical Book 2) by Richard Rogers
From Richard James Rogers: bestselling author of ‘The Quick Guide to Classroom Management’, comes this groundbreaking text on the Power of Praise in the context of teaching.
Getting a handle on how to give sincere and meaningful praise on a regular basis, and giving it regularly to ‘target’ students (i.e. all of our students), is a skill that the very best practitioners have mastered.
Praise is not the cute fluff-ball it appears to be, however. It is complex, dynamic and works effectively via a variety of prescribed methods. This books teaches you those methods in a practical. easy-to-implement way.

Author Bio:
Richard James Rogers received both his bachelor’s degree in Molecular Biology and his PGCE in Secondary Science Education from Bangor University (Wales, UK). This was an excellent foundation for the steep learning curve that would follow as he pursued his career as a teacher of Science and Mathematics at UK state schools, and afterwards at elite international schools in Asia. His 16 years of full time teaching experience have seen him instruct IGCSE German, Key Stage 3 and 4 Science, Computer Studies and Mathematics and three subjects at ‘AS’, ‘A2’ and IB Diploma level: Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics. He also went on to lead a team of students to win the Thailand Tournament of Minds Championship in 2012 and has been an active educational blogger, columnist and online pedagogical content editor since 2010. His debut book: ‘The Quick Guide to Classroom Management: 45 Secrets That All High School Teachers Need to Know’, is a widely acclaimed practical teaching manual for Newly Qualified Teachers and offers an overview of what, in his experience and research, works best when it comes to engaging your learners and being happy in your job as a high school teacher.
