Self Esteem and How We Learn

From the Journey Into Self Esteem series

Knowledge Network and Forefront Productions

This program focuses on the critical school-age years, especially adolescence, when self image is tested in an environment outside the loving circle of the home. The teacher may play a pivotal role in helping the young person feel accepted and productive. These feelings are insurance policies against educational failure, drug abuse, teenage pregnancy and crime. Eminent psychologist, Dr. H. Stephen Glenn, points out that it takes only one close relationship with a faculty member to turn around a potentially alienated student. We see a model school in action where students and teachers work and learn with mutual respect.
