Its how I structured my curriculum for science around students social and emotional needs. Very powerful and positive for all students in my classrooms.

This was a thoughtful and valuable book. It focuses on practical ideas and not pie in the sky stuff. One of its faults is it focuses too much on the extreme cases that I think inspired her work. There is a lot here that works well for average and above average students who appear to be successful in school.

This book is great for middle and high school teachers. I'm struggling with figuring out how I could adapt it for early ed as many of the forms from the book are very writing heavy and my little friends aren't there yet. I do think infusing hope in the school is a worthwhile thing though!

This book was not what I thought it was going to be. I was disappointed when reading it.
