In "You Can't Teach Me If You Can't Reach Me: Relational Strategies for Academic Success," Dr. Lorenza Pharrams presents a powerful follow-up to his first book by focusing on the critical role of creating meaningful relationships in student learning and classroom success. Grounded in research and over two decades of experience in some of the most challenging educational settings, this book provides educators with 28 practical, relationship-centered strategies that can be implemented immediately. Dr. Pharrams makes a convincing case that academic growth begins with connection and that students are more likely to engage, persevere, and achieve when they feel seen, heard, and supported.
