Opening Minds: Using Language to Change Lives

Opening Minds: Using Language to Change Lives is a groundbreaking book that shows how the words teachers choose affect the worlds students inhabit in the classroom, and ultimately their futures.

With rich descriptions of classroom interactions and research to back up his claims, Peter Johnston writes convincingly about how to engage children with more productive talk and create classrooms that support not only students' intellectual development but also their social, emotional, and moral development.

By using the power of language to open minds – rather than close them – teachers can help students become active learners, develop positive self-theories, and cultivate constructive perspectives.

This book is a must-read for any educator looking to make a lasting impact on their students' lives.
