Reclaiming Connection: How Schools and Families Can Nurture Belonging in a Scared New World

In this unique, important book, experienced middle school teacher Amber Chandler engages us in an honest discussion of how we can counteract the impact of the pandemic by rethinking how communities, families, and schools can collaborate for student success. Chandler’s conversational style features frank discussions, actionable strategies, and interviews with top thinkers on the way forward, out of a Scared New World. Reclaiming connection is the way to meet the “anxious generation” where they are and show them the way to do more than survive—to thrive.

During this time of uncertainty, this book doesn’t lament about “kids today” but proposes real solutions. Shifts in society are accompanied by unrest, but we can’t walk around it—Chandler helps us grow through it.
