These 6 Things by Dave Stuart Jr. is a book for every teacher. Though geared to educators in grades 6-12, any teacher who wants to get better at the art of education will learn something by reading this book. Chapter 2 about Cultivating Key Beliefs is something that would be the place to start. I had heard Stuart speak before and this gives some concrete ways to build credibility, belonging, effort, efficacy and value in your classroom. It gives strong reasons to teach knowledge along with ways to increase the amount of reading, writing, listening and speaking in your class, no matter what content area you teach.
