A very hands-on book with useable information for a diverse group of learners." -- Barbara R.

This book contains the information, research, and strategies to do just that. Teachers can easily select the strategies best suited to their circumstances and adjust them for an even better fit." -- Lorrie King, Teacher and Staff Developer "I can't think of one teacher who would not find this book a favorite resource. I have countless testimonials from teachers in my graduate classes who have used ideas from Kay Burke in their most frustrating or hopeless situations. They were amazed at the way they turned relationships with students and entire classes around." -- Susan Belgrad, Associate Professor of Elementary Education
