Combat Those Back to School Fears: September is National School Success Month
The month of September sends most children back to school. While some children eagerly anticipate the opportunities the new school year will bring, others look towards the forthcoming experiences with dread. This lack of enthusiasm may be due in part to struggles they faced in years past.
Newhall, CA (PRWEB) August 18, 2005 -- The month of September sends most
children back to school for another year. While some children eagerly anticipate
the opportunities the new school year will bring, others look towards the
forthcoming experiences with dread. This lack of enthusiasm may be due in part
to struggles they faced in years past.
September,
which is National School Success Month, is the perfect time to help children
combat educational related feelings of inadequacy and frustration. In his new
book, Daily Positives: Inspiring Greatness In The Next Generation (ISBN:
0974414980, Cameo Publications, LLC, $16.95) Edward P. Fiszer, Ed.D. provides
inspirational quotes and motivational messages geared towards young people.
Fiszer covers everything from making and keeping friends to anger management to
maintaining enthusiasm despite failure.
While many
parents and teachers may feel overwhelmed by the daunting task of trying to
combat back to school fears, they need to understand that patience is their
biggest ally. According to Fiszer, change will not happen overnight. “Excellence
is not seen after one great effort, but through incremental steps. Hard work,
practice with feedback from teachers and mentors, and relenteless focus on
improvement all become habits over time.”
Daily
Positives is the perfect addition to any principal, teacher, mentor or coach’s
library. Its messages provide the opportunity to inspire positive action,
tenacity, hard work, and dedication.
Edward P.
Fiszer, Ed.D. is the principal of an elementary school in Canoga Park,
California and teaches graduate-level courses in education at National
University and California State University, Northridge. Dr. Fiszer coaches and
consults on teacher learning, leadership, character development, and special
education issues. He is a member of the Association for Supervision and
Curriculum Development, the Association of California School Administrators,
Carskadon Associates, the National Association of Elementary School Principals,
and Phi Delta Kappa. After incorporating inspirational messages into his
school’s daily announcements, Dr. Fiszer has found that brief, key thoughts can
encapsulate the deepest yearnings of the heart as well as the highest
aspirations of students and adults alike.
