What Educators are saying about the eqed classroom
Dr. Shenell Deville, Director of Education Office of Juvenile Justice –Central Office, Baton Rouge,
"The EQed Classroom is both practical and self-guiding, offering valuable insights on how to connect, communicate, and collaborate more effectively. The realistic scenarios, thoughtful responses, and implementation management plan make the book especially engaging and relevant.
This is an excellent resource for the educators in juvenile correctional settings. It aligns well with other coaching practices and can be a powerful tool to support and enhance teaching effectiveness.”
Zahkeya Dixon, 2024 Middle School Teacher of the Year, Lafayette Parish, Lafayette, LA
“I love how this book focuses on students and teachers as people and not the role they are assigned in the classroom. The practical tools, especially the C³ Key Principles, allow for relationships to be built before learning. This is an amazing book and should be a part of undergraduate education courses. It will give the first-year and veteran teachers a new perspective on building relationships with their students.”
Charlotte Watson-Wales, Attendance Teacher, Buffalo City Schools, New York
“The EQed Classroom completely shifted how I understand and approach the social and emotional needs of students. I started using what I learned right away, and it helped me communicate better and support students more effectively. The insights were practical and transformed how I communicate and build relationships. This book is an essential tool for educators at any stage of their career.”
Octavia Warren, Middle School Principal of the Year, St. Landry Parish, Opelousas, LA
“Educators expect student outcomes. We want students to produce, but how we show up influences those outcomes. The EQed Classroom: Leveraging Self-Awareness….addresses the need for EQ in the classroom. By focusing on educating the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally—we can directly impact student achievement in meaningful ways. Frederick Douglass said, “It’s easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.”
Gwen Lewis, Retired Principal, Lafayette, Louisiana
"This book should be in the hands of and available to every novice educator. It should be used as a basis for in-service training at the beginning of each school year. Everything else can take a back seat the first week of school.”
Kayla Joseph Jones, 2022 Louisiana Teacher of the Year, Evangeline Parish, Ville Platte, Louisiana
The framework provided in The EQed Classroom: Leveraging Self-Awareness to Create Engaging Environments aligns with Louisiana's recently adopted National Institute for Excellence in Teaching (NIET) evaluation system. The framework can serve as a valuable tool for enhancing and supporting aspects of the domains of “instruction,” “planning,” “environment,” and “professionalism.”
