This rigorous, yet practical, book helps teachers connect with
students who may be struggling. More than that, it helps instil
academic inspiration into our vulnerable students. What I love
about this book is that the strategies will be effective for all
students, not just those who are trauma-affected. The timing of the
release is uncanny given the vast numbers of teachers across the
globe who will be supporting students through the trauma, distress
and social-emotional side effects of the Covid-19 global pandemic.
It's a "must have" for all teachers!
