Helping Children Succeed - Reading Together - Relationships and Pedagogy

"The central premise of EL schools is that character is built not through lectures or direct instruction from teachers but through the experience of persevering through challenging academic work."
(page 98, Kindle Edition)

"In order for a student to truly feel motivated by and about school, he also has to perceive that he is doing important work— work that is challenging, rigorous, and deep."
(page 99, Kindle Edition)
