Editorial Reviews

"Has an excellent mix of humor and seriousness to appreciate the students who enter the classroom. Each chapter ends with great ideas for improving connections to understand and educate students in today's classrooms."

Brenda Vatthauer

"Vickie Gill makes so much sense, I found myself nodding in agreement. This book leaves you glad that you read it and is one that teachers will pass on or recommend to their colleagues."

Melanie Mares

"While there is no pat formula involved, the approach does help teachers identify and more effectively work with common patterns of behavior and learning: add case histories and you have an excellent real-world survey."
