Teacher Effectiveness Training

The quality of a teacher's interpersonal relationships -- with students, parents and administrators -- directly affects how well they facilitate learning and manage their classrooms. This book describes and illustrates the skills and procedures teachers need in order to foster the cooperation and motivation of students, conduct productive teacher-parent conferences and earn the trust of their colleagues and administrators.

T.E.T. is the textbook for Dr. Gordon's breakthrough training program, which since 1967 has earned college credit for over a hundred thousand teachers in a dozen different countries. The T.E.T. book is also used in a number of teacher training colleges and universities.

In schools, both public and private, teachers and administrators report, "It works" -- reducing disciplinary problems in the classroom, fostering greater involvement of students in the learning process, giving teachers more "time-on-task," and making learning more fun and teaching less stressful.
