I’ve waited a long time for this day to arrive – my latest book is finally available wherever you buy your books!

For this book, my goal was to create a coherent approach to this one common issue – name learning – that goes beyond random tip-and-trick lists, going deeper into what happens when we learn a name and tapping into these theories for the most effective strategies. I also got to talk about some special considerations that may factor in, including neurodivergence, the effects (not all bad!) of cognitive aging, and how to handle names in large classes.

Why read a whole guide on this single topic? For starters, learning student names is one move that instantly elevates your classroom atmosphere, no matter your discipline, the needs of your students, or teaching style. It is also an area where most of us can use some help. So I tried to make this book as applicable as possible across the board - whether you happen to be a thirty-year classroom veteran, or a teaching assistant just starting out.
