Education Thought-Leader Highlights Better Methods for Improved Student Performance

ORLANDO, Fla. - March 18, 2013 - PRLog -- Leading education thought-leader and consultant on school achievement, Ron Large, Ed.D., has recently unveiled his publication, Larger Lessons, offering an inspiring and in-depth expository that addresses classroom challenges and solutions enabling teachers to create  positive and lasting change.

Larger Lessons adequately showcases the need for school systems to be more effective in meeting the foundational requirements of early adolescents. Through a heartwarming story, each adjoining chapter masterfully interweaves a message closely linked to professional and personal development, academic improvement, and a mutual respect and friendship that develops between a teacher and his student.  

The author attempts to fuel the reader’s passion for teaching that will ultimately encourage student behavioral change and academic achievement. “I think one of the tools to achieving greater success in our schools is establishing higher expectation for our students,” notes Dr. Large. Using real-life classroom examples, he suggests five guiding principles useful in shaping foundational student support systems for character building and curriculum success.  The 130-page commentary includes the following “Larger Lessons”: (1) I am hope; (2) I scout talent; (3) I am the example; (4) I am family; and (5) I connect.
