Excerpt from Chapter 14:

    "The research on classroom climate is thin but clear: thin because the volume of studies is much smaller than in the cognitive areas, clear because the findings are consistent across populations, ages of students, and subjects. Whenever students feel empowerment, acceptance, and safety to take risks and try things that are hard for them, they like school better and learn more. This section is about how adults build such environments."
