Understanding Nurturing Practices--A Comparison of the Use of Strategies Likely To Enhance Self-Esteem in Nurture Groups and Normal Classrooms.
Colwell, John; O'Connor, Tina
British Journal of Special Education, v30 n3 p119-24 Sep 2003
A study compared United Kingdom classrooms containing nurture groups and typical classrooms (n=8). Teachers' verbal and nonverbal communications in the nurture group were much more positive and more likely to enhance the self-esteem of pupils (ages 5-7). Communication of typical classroom teachers were less likely to foster positive self-esteem. (Contains references.) (CR)
